Note anyway that having network-manager [linux-any] in the Recommends field is
also buggy. Having all packages in main satisfying their Recommends
relationships has been a release goal in the past, and it may be better to ask
first if this still holds. (The Policy forbids that packages in the main
archive area recommend other packages outside that area, but one can argue that
it is silent about recommending pakcages that do not exist).
