I just tested a wheezy beta3 image and it installs network manager by
default from CD-1. I suggest you try this image and see if you can
spot any other issues that needs fixing.

The image I tested is
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta3/i386/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-b3-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso

You may try other variants too and let us know if it works.
