Triaged/High; since this affects some users who connect directly through
PPPoE. While this may be a relatively low number of people, it's
crippling if they cannot retrieve pppoe after the fact due to no
network...

This simply needs a cherry-pick of
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=6fdfb03107138e96e641d12a7c4df5ecfacb5406,
which reverts changes that unfortunately landed in vivid too; so should
be SRU'd.

As an added benefit, with this patch it is unnecessary to install the
pppoe package, everything is handled directly by pppd.

Title:
  network-manager configured to use /usr/sbin/pppoe but does not
  recommend pppoe

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in network-manager package in Debian:
  New

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.
