This is mentioned in the Debian changelog:

network-manager (0.9.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
...
 * Specify the path to the pppd and pppoe binary via the corresponding
    configure switch.

Title:
  networkmanager requires pppoe but it is not in "requires"

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  networkmanager switched from using ppp to using pppoe binary for
  dsl/pppoe connections, I am using pppoe and I can't connect to the
  Internet unless I install "pppoe" package.

  From:
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?h=nm-0-9-10&id=7955806a02db64b20079267743056d7d9d45af3b

  "for now, work around this by using the userland pppoe client rather
  than the kernel code"

  One way to fix it is to include pppoe
  Another way is to configure --with-pppoe=/usr/sbin/pppd.

  I think this is urgent as pppoe/dsl on all vivid machines will be
  broken out-of-the-box.
