Joey, Christian, can we expect a speedy tasksel upload to fix that? As far as I'm concerned, tech-ctte forced NM to be optional, but a typical Gnome installation through d-i should be pulling an automatically configured network setup, and should be installing NM (which is no longer does due to network-manager-gnome's being downgraded to a Recommends of gnome-core if I followed the story properly). Please consider adding Depends: network-manager-gnome to task-gnome-desktop. Thanks already. Mraw, KiBi.
