Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.8-5
Severity: normal

There's *no* reason for the libpam-systemd dependency to be a hard Depends:
Network Manager works just fine for me without it, and bringing in
libpam-systemd actually *breaks* stuff (I don't want my network to die
every time I close the laptop lid!).

This should clearly be a Recommends:
