me if I misunderstood the problem.

These seem to be about the transitional package being installed as a
dependency. In the reported bug network-manager-gnome was installed
manually, not as a dependency on anything.

On upgrade it pulled netwok-manager-applet, as expected. But for some
reason, both netwok-manager-applet (not surprising) and
network-manager-gnome (that=E2=80=99s where the problem lies) end up marked=
 as
automatically installed. Leading to their removal with a following
autoremove.

To summarise:
1. On Bookworm, install network-manager-gnome manually;
2. Upgrade to Trixie;
3. Run apt autoremove.
=E2=87=92 both network-manager-gnome and netwok-manager-applet end up remov=
ed.

Something unexpectedly flipped a bit from "manually installed" to
"automatically installed" on network-manager-gnome during the upgrade
process.

Arnault, just to make sure, did you at some point in the upgrade process
run the command `apt-mark minimize-manual`?
