You are using Debian testing, so I guess you use NM 0.7.
If so, you have two options:
Mark the connection as system connection in nm-connection-editor ("Available to
all users"). This way the key is stored system wide (in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/). That's basically what wicd does.
The other option is, to use libpam-gnome-keyring. Set your keyring password the
same as your login password, and on login your gnome-keyring will automatically
be unlocked.
Cheers,
