   Reminder: I am not experiencing that bug myself. Arnault, please correct   
   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’s 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.   
   ⇒ both network-manager-gnome and netwok-manager-applet end up removed.   
      
   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`?
