I remember that I discussed that briefly with Jeremy on IRC. Such a separate binary package (even if tiny) seems like an approach to me which I'd be fine with. I found this after a bit of searching: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/997200 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2017-February/039696.html Next step would be to decide, how we name things, i.e. if we choose different names for Ubuntu and Debian, like network-manager-config-connectivity-debian and network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu (quite the mouthful) or an unbranded name like network-manager-config-connectivity, but with different content depending on the distro. Any preferences? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
