[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#743128: Bug#743128: network-manager: NM does not work (without systemd)

I can by now confirm that my issues are systemd-related: When booting my
machine with systemd, everything behaves as expected.

However, interesting enough, just *installing* systemd (without using
it) already improves the situation a lot: "nmcli c" works as expected,
and the KDE plasma-nm applet shows the available and stored connections.
However, for some reason, automatically connecting to a network does not
work in this mode. After startup, I have to click "Connect" in the
applet to initiate a wireless connection. And after resume, I have to
click "Disconnect" and then "Connect" again for NM to re-establish my
wireless connection.
So it may well be that with some small fixes (though I have no clue
what's causing this), a "Depends: systemd" suffices.

Kind regards
Ralf
