I am thinking about making autostarting and connecting automatically

means, I need to write a post installation script or if its already
exists, add a few lines to it, so that users can choose how to set up
netman.
This is a good idea. You can use a netman-gui.postinst file for that.
Pseudo code:
echo "Do you want netman to use a systray icon?"
get answer (yes1)
if yes1
echo "Do you want netman to automatically connect on startup?"
get answer (yes2)
else
create a simple launcher without parameters
exit
if yes2
create a launcher to use --auto-conn --use-tray-icon
else
create a launcher with only --use-tray-icon
Some hints as to where I should place this script, and which files
under netman/debian I have to edit, would be of a considerable help to
me.

The content of the netman-gui.postinst could be something like this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
/sbin/ldconfig
fi
while true; do
read -p "Do you want netman to use a systray icon? (Y/n)" yn
case $yn in
[Yy]* ) LINE1="Exec=netman --use-tray-icon"; break;;
[Nn]* ) LINE1="Exec=netman "; break;;
* ) LINE1="Exec=netman--use-tray-icon"; break;;
esac
done
while true; do
read -p "Do you want netman to automatically connect on startup? (Y/n)" yn
case $yn in
[Yy]* ) LINE2=" --auto-conn"; break;;
[Nn]* ) LINE2=""; break;;
* ) LINE2="--auto-conn"; break;;
esac
done
LINE=${LINE1}${LINE2}
sed -i "4i ${LINE}" /etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop;
#DEBHELPER#
exit 0
HTH,
Aitor.
