Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.2
I am not sure against which package this bug should be reported,
network-manager or policykit. Please reassign if necessary.
Upgrading network-manager from 0.6.6-2 to 0.7.0-1 causes most of Gnome to be
installed:

This happens even without having a Gnome desktop (since I am using KDE). I see
in this a serious violation of the policy, since "The Recommends field
should list packages that would be found together with this one", which in turn
means recommends must not contain packages that are not found
together. And Gnome is usually not found on KDE desktops.
Thanks,
Sten

If you don't want policykit-gnome, then don't install it.
But if want to manage system-connections, then you need policykit and
policykit-gnome to manage it (so imho the recommends is justified).
At best it's a wishlist bug against policykit to demote the recommends to
suggests but never a policy violation.
Closing this bug report.
