I cannot test with 1.0.0, as that version breaks the GNOME integration
and the network control panel, and there doesn't appear to be a
corresponding version of GNOME in experimental (even if I wanted to
upgrade all of GNOME to experimental).

However, I can report this upstream against my current version, once I
know which package provides the GNOME "Network" control panel.
