tasks/{standalone,roaming-workstation}: Ideally both
network-manager applets are available (plasma-nm,
network-manager-gome). As we don't know the desktop-environment, let's
pull in both.

After investigating this issue I noticed:

GNOME: nothing to do (gnome depends on network-manager-gnome)
KDE Plasma: ditto (kde-standard depends on plasma-nm)
LXDE: ditto (lxde depends on wicd)
LXQt: ditto (lxqt depends on cmst) [cmst: 'connman system tray']
MATE: network-manager-gnome needs to be installed
Xfce: network-manager-gnome needs to be installed; also,
      tasks/desktop-xfce needs xfce4-notifyd as additional dependency
      to actually let the applet show up in the system tray.

IMO only one applet for each DE is needed / wanted.
So tasks/standalone and tasks/roaming-workstation should depend on
network-manager-gnome | plasma-nm | cmst | wicd

Please check.

Wolfgang

I remember that I had to frown at those deps/recommends in the first place, when I worked on them.

Shouldn't that be entirely be handled by the respective desktop environment and its meta packages?
