NetworkManager depends on bluetooth because it can configure network via
bluetooth devices such as mobile phone, where you can use the phone as a
modem.

I don't see dependency between network-manager and bluetooth in jessie

$ apt-cache show network-manager

Even if NetworkManager is removed, you can still configure network easily.
