i didn't installed network-manager-gnome manually, it was installed on 
the bookworm netinst at first.

i didn't launch any other command than those described on the release-notes.

in fact, i didn't performed any action other than
- installing bookworm from netinst
- upgrade my system
- full-upgrade to trixie following release-notes instructions
- reboot and launched 'apt-autoremove' command.

on gnome, it removed network-manager-gnome and network-manager-applet 
(network-manager-applet was not on bookworm, it was installed 
automaticaly during the full-upgrade)

on xfce, it removed network-manager-gnome, network-manager-applet and 
nm-connection-editor (again, network-manager-applet and 
nm-connection-editor were not in bokworm but installed during the 
full-upgrade process)

i'm surprised that packages installed during the full-upgrade process 
are removed just after a reboot and a 'apt autoremove' command.
if those packages have to be removed, why are they installed on the 
full-upgrade ?
