It's the logical result of a distro working automagically in all
circumstances.

aptitude search blue and remove things? But the funny thing is that you
complain about Ubuntu making stuff work that you do not need but paid
for. Why did you buy a bluetooth laptop in the first place when having
it is such a problem.

Dunno what you are talking about, must be a KDE thing.

Freaking disk mounting needs udev, dbus, and hal, so I don't think this
will be the problem. If NM does not work, then it should be fixed
removed. 
And I really don't know wtf you are bitching about. I know your level of
expertise well enough to know that you are aware that ALL you need to do
to make an interface not managed by NM is defining it
in /etc/network/interfaces like you have always done. Then NM leaves it
alone, problem solved.
