A great example of this (IMHO) is the networkmanager bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668899 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?

Sure the UI is not great but I could deal with the UI. I keep networkmanager installed on my laptop to keep some oddball VPN profiles available. 80% of the time I have NM disabled, pidgin and a host of other apps have no problem with NM being disabled.
