I didn't found a bug report from you. However I fount those two bug that
are similar.

* Network-manager shouldn't stop the network during an upgrade
  http://bugs.debian.org/474352
* Updating to lenny failed when NetworkManager got updated
  http://bugs.debian.org/504918

It looks like it could hurt many user that upgrade [lots of] desktops
over ssh.
