Bug#1110938: upgrade-reports: apt wants to (correctly?) autoremove network-manager-gnome after successful XFCE Bookworm to Trixie upgrade

Package: upgrade-reports
Followup-For: Bug #1110938


As per subject, after a successful XFCE Bookworm to Trixie upgrade
apt suggests to autoremove network-manager-gnome among others:

    root@debian4:~# apt upgrade
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer 
required:
      libaio1       libexecs0  libfuse3-3  libunistring2          
python3-pyatspi  python3-pysimplesoap  python3.11-minimal
      libcapstone4  libfmt9    libnfs13    network-manager-gnome  
python3-pycurl   python3.11
    Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

    Summary:
      Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 0
    root@debian4:~#


I believe that this is happening because network-manager-gnome is a
transitional package in Trixie and was not manually installed:

    Description: transitional package for network-manager-applet and 
nm-connection-editor
     NetworkManager is a system network service that manages your network 
devices
     and connections, attempting to keep active network connectivity when
     available. It manages ethernet, Wi-Fi, mobile broadband (WWAN), and 
PPPoE
     devices, and provides VPN integration with a variety of different 
VPN
     services.
     .
     This transitional package depends on network-manager-applet 
(shipping
     nm-applet which provides a notification area applet for controlling
     NetworkManager) and nm-connection-editor (a network connection 
configuration
     editor for NetworkManager).
     .
     It can be removed safely once no other package depends on it.

    magnus@debian4:~$


In fact task-xfce-desktop now depends on network-manager-applet and
nm-connection-editor and not anymore on network-manager-gnome:

    task-xfce-desktop: recommends transitional network-manager-gnome
