Eh, no?
mvdwege@gaheris:~$ apt-cache rdepends network-manager | wc -l
40
And that includes all packages for which nm is a dependency, not just
a hard Depends: *and* i386 packages (I run multi-arch).
And note that that this is an rdepends search. I have only 4 of those 40
packages installed (and 2 of those only by accident).
And taking a look at the list, there's a lot of non-essential stuff on
there. About the only thing I'd consider anything near 'essential' is
evolution, and that is only a Suggests: dependency.

What is so difficult about 'select text, middle button paste'?
I really wanted to cut you some slack, but I am forced to conclude that
your problem is between the chair and the keyboard.
