The relevance of this for this particular bug is that it's part of why the
upgrade behavior is rather bad. If someone running squeeze had
uninstalled network-manager and installed wicd (a perfectly reasonable
configuration that I suspect is more widespread than people might think;
there are at least two people participating in this very thread who did
that), upon upgrade to wheezy they will end up with both wicd and
network-manager installed and running at the same time. The results are
unlikely to be pretty.
