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 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2), libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.102), libgcrypt20 (>= 1.6.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3), libgnutls-deb0-28 (>= 3.3.0), libgudev-1.0-0 (>= 165), libmm-glib0 (>= 1.0.0), libndp0 (>= 1.2), libnewt0.52, libnl-3-200 (>= 3.2.21), libnl-genl-3-200 (>= 3.2.21), libnl-route-3-200 (>= 3.2.7), libnm-glib4 (>= 0.9.10.0), libnm-util2 (>= 0.9.10.0), libpolkit-gobject-1-0 (>= 0.101), libreadline6 (>= 6.0), libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.39.3), libsystemd0, libteamdctl0 (>= 1.9), libuuid1 (>= 2.16), init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~), lsb-base (>= 3.2-14), wpasupplicant (>= 0.7.3-1), dbus (>= 1.1.2), udev, adduser, isc-dhcp-client (>= 4.1.1-P1-4), libpam-systemd, policykit-1 Even if NetworkManager is removed, you can still configure network easily. regards
