While I agree that we want to avoid NetworkManager on everything but standalone and roaming profiles, I tried and it was easier said than done. The issue is that apt in Squeeze install recommends by default, and NetworkManager is recommended by packages we do want to install. We will need to rewrite the entire tasksel framework we use to install packages to do something about that. I am open for suggestions. I believe our best option is to disable NetworkManager, both in d-i and after installation, and leave it at that.
