sorry for the extra nagging in my mail from two days ago, but I didn't
see yours since you didn't cc: the tasksel maintainers. Thanks for
your input anyway.

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.
