                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^
It says unmanaged, not unsupported.
Unmanaged means, that you have configured that device in /etc/network/interfaces

The 0.7.0-1 package (currently in NEW), will have a README.Debian, which
describes what that means. My private repo [1] contains what will be in
experimental (soo)

Could you describe in more detail, what your actual problem is?
What does your /e/n/i look like? Do you have other network interfaces (other
than eth0) which are managed by NM?
