Ah I see, that's already been decided. A consequence of downgrading it to Recommends:, though, is that it is no longer prioritised for inclusion on CD-1. I think that was probably unintentional; that the intent was to make network-manager optional, rather than remove it altogether from a CD-1 default install. >>> 2. add network-manager-gnome specially to debian-cd's >>> tasks/wheezy/Debian-gnome, after the forcd1 include - after all, we are >>> just trying to manipulate what goes onto CD1. That may be the only sensible suggestion now. Perhaps mobile-broadband-provider-info, modemmanager and usb-modeswitch are all desirable as well. (These are recommends of network-manager[-gnome] and not already on CD-1). I'm not sure yet what packages these would displace, and hence if any of this is technically feasible. If not, users must be strongly warned of the limitations of GNOME CD-1, to avoid disappointment. The ultimate aim would be to offer GNOME CD-1 users the easiest possible, and comprehensive, means to set up networking and be able to install additional software. The rationale is similar to #630805 and #231583, whereby packages were prioritised for inclusion on CD-1 (but those were much smaller, and unintrusive...).
