Seems the quest for deprecation of everything continues... :)

The request starts as follows (in this excerpt the word "package"
is read like "Claws Mail"):
[…]
> the libnm-glib/libnm-util libraries have been deprecated upstream in
> favour of libnm.
> 
> Your package declares a Build-Depends on network-manager-dev.
> 
> It seems to not actually link against libnm-util/libnm-glib, but uses
> the D-Bus API for the online connectivity check and requires a few
> macros and defines from NetworkManager.h.
> 
> Please consider porting claws-mail to libnm. The API of libnm is very
> similar to the one provided by libnm-glib/libnm-util [1], e.g. the
> NetworkManager.h header file is also provided by libnm.
