It doesn't break the Wi-Fi network, it re-establishes the Wi-Fi 
connection when NetworkManager restarts.
NM has always behaved like this as it is not really possible to transfer 
over the state on restarts for Wi-Fi connections as external components 
like wpa_supplicant are involved.
This only works for Ethernet connections, which are much simpler.

Not restarting NetworkManager on upgrades would be an option, but has 
other downsides, like requiring a system reboot apply (security) fixes. 
So I would like to avoid that.

Which is why I'm leaning towards closing this was wontfix.

This sounds like how-can-i-help runs some downloads in postinst.
Does it fail the package installation is this just a warning message?

Maybe it would be better if how-can-i-help runs the download on demand 
or via a systemd timer.
