Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

network-manager-pptp-gnome does not depend on network-manager-pptp. As a result, you can install the GUI for something that isn't actually installed. This is confusing and annoying.

Unmarking from duplicate, this is a -pptp-gnome --> -pptp dependency rather than the other way around.

The same principle applies to network-manager-vpnc, network-manager-openvpn, network-manager-openconnect: marking as such.

summary: - network-manager-pptp-gnome should depend on network-manager-pptp
+ network-manager vpn plugins -gnome packages should depend on their
+ backend parts

    network-manager-pptp, to handle upgrades with the package split (LP: #516854)
    - update debian/control
  * Add Depends on network-manager-pptp to network-manager-pptp-gnome, it's
    useless without the backend. (LP: #534218)
    - update debian/control
