Thanks for posting on this Jape. I'm new to Debian (preparing to install
soon) and will likely be caught by this. Hope it's OK to ask some newby
questions.
I want a light weight DE, and was thinking to use XFCE (been fine on my
other distros). I'm at best an intermediate level with Linux, so will
likely struggle with not installing Gnome (really don't want Gnome or KDE).

Is it possible to not install network-manager-gnome when installing
Debian with XFCE? I've bypassed the network manager in Ubuntu in the
past, running on a desktop machine, and just configured network access
by text file anyway. Not sure if that would make things awkward on a
laptop connecting to different wireless sites.
Are all these Gnome packages real dependencies for
network-manager-gnome, or are they just selected by some other means?
Is there an alternative network manager for XFCE, and can one be
selected during initial installation?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers, Oli
