Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.2-2
Severity: wishlist

network-manager pulls in dhcp3-client & dhcp3-common which are 
unneccessary when static IPs are used.

So it becomes impossible to have a "slim" efficient installation
on light weight machines. Perhaps a meta-"full" package might be needed for the
newbie who might not know whether dhcp is needed, depending on a 
network-manager-lite without dhcp for those who know what they are doing.

isc-dhcp-client is a Recommends nowadays (as NM has a builtin dhcp
client as fallback). So you can uninstall isc-dhcp-client along with its
dependencies if you don't need it for a static setup.

This should sufficiently cover your case, so closing this bug report.
