Rejecting network-manager-applet binaries (library splitout)

Hello Mathieu,

I just reviewed the new n-m-applet binaries, and have to reject them.
The new libnm-gtk0 contains

./usr/lib/gnome-bluetooth/plugins/libnma.so
./usr/share/libnm-gtk/wifi.ui

Both of these are paths which are no SONAME specific, thus once there
is a libnm-gtk1, you'd get a file conflict and the packages would not
be co-installable.

The .ui is presumably not attached to a particular ABI, so that one
should just go into a libnm-gtk-common package if it is really the
library which uses them. I have no idea what libnma.so does, but does
that really belong into the library package?  Not into n-m-gnome
itself?

Thanks,

Martin
