Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
NetworkManager 0.7 allows making cellular network data connections. It needs the ppp daemon to make them, but it doesn't depend on the ppp package.
You use cellular network connection mostly when there is no other option (like WiFi) available, therefore you can't install the ppp package when it is most needed using some other connection type.
The network-manager package should depend on ppp.
yes, mobile broadband and pppoe need this at least, it should be a depend.
