As you say this is ugly, and if you ever change your mind and want to  
re-enable NM, you will need to remember precisely how you crippled it...

Why not just complete remove it if you don't want it ? Seems the  
cleanest solution, and if you ever change your mind it is just an apt- 
get install away ...
