Please unblock package network-manager

It fixes a bunch of RC bugs and long standing issues.
Dropping the /e/n/i mangling bits is now possible due to the fine work
the d-i people did for d-i 7.0 RC1.

It's important to get those fixes in to wheezy along with the
corresponding changes in network-manager-applet: #699115,
gnome-control-center: #697894 and gnome-shell: #699119

The changelog:

network-manager (0.9.4.0-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change the ifupdown dispatcher script and set ADDRFAM to "inet" or "inet6"
    depending on whether the connection has a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
    Using "NetworkManager" as ADDRFAM type did confuse most ifupdown hook
    scripts and e.g. broke async NFS mounts. (Closes: #475188, #656584)
  * debian/patches/05-force-online-with-unmanaged-devices.patch: If network
    interfaces are configured in /etc/network/interfaces, NM will mark those
    devices as unmanaged by default. If such a network interface has been
    brought up by ifup, set the global online state to CONNECTED.
    (Closes: #512286)
  * No longer run the ifblacklist_migrate.sh script upon installation. This
    script was used to comment out DHCP type network interface configurations
    in /etc/network/interfaces as otherwise NM would mark such devices as
    unmanaged. This script was buggy though and sometimes created a broken
    network configuration.
    Since debian-installer in wheezy (7.0) will create proper configuration
    for NM if the network-manager package is part of the installation, this is
    no longer necessary.
    If users make a minimal system installation and install the
    network-manager package afterwards, show a warning in postinst if we
    find any interface configurations in /etc/network/interfaces.
    (Closes: #688355, #690987, #606268)
  * Update README.Debian for the latest changes.

-NetworkManager consists of two parts: one is on the system level daemon that
-manages the connections and gathers information about new networks. The other
-is a systray applet that users can use to interact with the NetworkManager
-daemon.
-
-Security
-~~~~~~~~
-
-To allow users to connect to the NetworkManager daemon they have to be in the
-group "netdev". If you want to add a user to group "netdev" use the command
-"adduser username netdev" or one of the graphical user management frontends.
-After that you have to reload D-Bus with the command "service dbus reload".
-
-Alternatively you can install the "consolekit" package which will grant access
-for all locally logged in users.
-
-
-Managed vs. Unmanaged mode and /etc/network/interfaces
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Devices listed in /etc/network/interfaces _will_ be managed by NetworkManager
-unless the ifupdown system-config-setting is enabled and is setup to run
-in "Unmanaged mode".
-
-The config to select unmanaged/managed mode is in
-/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
-
-  [ifupdown]
-  managed=true/false
-
-Unmanaged mode will make NetworkManager not touch any wired/wireless device
-matching an interface name configured in /etc/network/interfaces.
-
-Managed mode will make NetworkManager manage all devices and will make
-NetworkManager honour all dhcp and static configurations for wired and
-wireless devices.
-
-After modifying /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf _or_
-/etc/network/interfaces you may want to tell NetworkManager about the changes
-by running "service network-manager restart".
-
-System settings
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-System settings allow to setup network connections which are available at
-boot time, before login and to all users of the machine. The settings are
-stored in a system-wide location.
-There are plugins for different configuration sources.
-By default the ifupdown and keyfile plugin are enabled, see
-/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
-
-  [main]
-  plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
-
-The ifupdown plugin is read-only and reads the native ifupdown configuration
-file /etc/network/interfaces.
-
-The keyfile plugin is read-write. The configuration files for network
-connections are stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.
+NetworkManager is a set of co-operative tools that make networking simple and
+straightforward. Whether WiFi, wired, 3G, or Bluetooth, NetworkManager allows
+you to quickly move from one network to another.
+
+It has two components:
+
+1. a system level service which manages connections and reports network changes
+2. a graphical desktop applet which allows the user to manipulate network
+   connections. The nmcli tool provides similar functionality on the command
+   line.
+
+
+system connections and security
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In NetworkManager version 0.9, network connections are stored as keyfiles in
+the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ directory.
+When creating new wireless or wired connections, they are by default
+system-owned (i.e. available to everyone) and the secrets (e.g WPA-PSK or WEP
+key) are stored as plain text in the corresponding connection configuration
+file. The advantage of system connections is, that they can be active before a
+user has logged in and they are active across user sessions.
+Modifying or creating such system-owned connections requires admin privileges.
+To avoid prompts for the root/admin password, NetworkManager ships a PolicyKit
+configuration file which grants everyone in group "netdev" or "sudo" the
+privilege to modify a system connection without prior authentication. Adding a
+user to group sudo grants him root-like privileges though. If that is not
+wanted, you can choose to add him to group netdev instead.
+If the user should not have the privilege to add and modify system connections
+don't add him to either groups.
+In that case, the user clients (like nm-applet) will default to creating
+user-owned connections where the secrets are stored in the user keyring.
+VPN and 3G type connections are by default also user-owned.

+unmanaged devices and /etc/network/interfaces
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Network devices which are configured in /etc/network/interfaces will typically
+be managed by ifupdown. Such devices will by default be marked as "unmanaged"
+in NetworkManager.
 
-Dial-up configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+You can tell NetworkManager to read and use the network configuration from
+/etc/network/interfaces by editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
+and changing the configuration as follows:
+
+  [ifupdown]
+  managed=true
 
-Your dialup configurations can now be done in nm-connection-editor.
-Because of that /etc/network/interfaces configurations are considered "legacy"
-from a network manager point of view.
+After modifying /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf or
+/etc/network/interfaces you need to restart the NetworkManager service via
+"service network-manager restart".
 
-However, if you want to use your /etc/network/interfaces configuration make
-sure that you have the ifupdown plugin in "Unmanaged mode" and take care that
-the used wired/wireless device is also configured in /etc/network/interfaces.
+It needs to be considered though that the network interface will also still be
+managed by ifupdown. This can lead to unexpected behaviour if two network
+configuration systems manage the same device.
 
-Note that NetworkManager 0.7 will not provide UI hooks to up and down ppp
-connections managed outside of NetworkManager itself (not that it ever worked
-nicely before).
+If you want to have a network interface managed by NetworkManager it is thus
+recommended to manually remove any configuration for that interface from
+/etc/network/interfaces.
