I run ltsp also, and even if I remove NM completely, I think that Alkis's setup is interesting and would love to be able to use it also in the near future, so this "breakage" will affect me too. As general consideration I find scaring that installing a package can bring such problems "just because we think that usually is not used often". I really want GNU/Linux keep being an predictable system and apt packaging a very good one, so please consider to fix this issue before release. Thanks in advance

That breaks the default bind9 and dnsmasq installations, for people that actually want to install a DNS server. Having to manually comment out "#dns=dnsmasq" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf doesn't sound good, and if it stays that way, it should be moved to the bind9 and dnsmasq postinst scripts. Please make network-manager smarter so that it checks if bind9 or dnsmasq are installed, so that it doesn't start the local resolver in that case.
