Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

network-manager package Recommends network-manager-gnome | network-manager-kde

Since in Jaunty, knetworkmanager (network-manager-kde) is not installed by kubuntu-desktop, this causes that GNOME version is pulled in instead - these are the packages installed on clean Kubuntu Alpha 5 install:
ii bluez-gnome 1.8-0ubuntu2 Bluetooth utilities for GNOME
ii gnome-keyring 2.25.92-0ubuntu1 GNOME keyring services (daemon and tools)
ii libgnome-keyring0 2.25.92-0ubuntu1 GNOME keyring services library
ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.25.92-0ubuntu1 PAMmodule to unlock the GNOME keyring upon
ii libpolkit-gnome0 0.9-1ubuntu3 PolicyKit-gnome library
ii libsoup-gnome2.4-1 2.25.91-0ubuntu1 an HTTP library implementation in C -- Share
ii network-manager-gnome 0.7.1~rc3-0ubuntu1 network management framework (GNOME frontend

Since kubuntu-desktop in Jaunty now uses "plasma-widget-network-manager", network-manager should not pull in any additional packages.

I see two ways to address this problem:
1. Change network-manager's Recommends and add "| plasma-widget-network-manager"
2. Change knetworkmanager and plasma-widget-network-manager packages to both Provides network-manager-kde
   (currently knetworkmanager ships in network-manager-kde binary package)

It would make sense to align with Debian in this matter.
