It's unlikely that an upgrade would put network-manager back if you remove it 
with apt-get. The only way that would happen is if a later version of the 
system adds network-manager to the dependency list of something else you have 
installed. Right now (in jaunty) the only things that depend on it are the 
various desktop network-manager applets.
