[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#743450: network-manager-gnome: netdev group membership requirement causes issues when updating

[anon]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.8.8-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I just updated network-manager-gnome to find that nm-applet no longer worked.
After searching around for quite a long time, I found that I now need to be a
member of netdev to use nm-applet, which wasn't the case before (my upgrade was
from 0.9.8.4-1 to 0.9.8.8-1).
While this is documented in the README, which is laudable, I assume it will
still screw over many people when they upgrade.

Maybe it has to be this way. I'm just letting you know.
