its not about preference, network-manager is breaking many
configurations, (i don't care about evolution because it doesn't break
anything, its one of the many packages installed but not used),
just look at the bugs:
#624159
#433734
#408292
#637005
...
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=network-manager;dist=unstable
i believe a way of installing network-manager, but disabling it
completly would be enough for many people.
