I don't think it will make a huge difference to merge it with #595112 
and its duplicate, but sure, if you prefer that, we can do that.

Personally, I would have preferred to keep this bug report assigned to 
network-manager-gnome and have it blocked by #595112 if there is a 
realistic chance to have a fix for #595112 in trixie.
But since it's unlikely that this issue is addressed in dpkg any time 
soon, once the fix becomes available, it is no longer relevant for 
network-manager-gnome, as I plan to drop this transitional 
network-manager-gnome package in trixie+1.

Sorry, I know this is disappointing.

Regards,
Michael
