With nm-connection-editor, it's possible to create an Ethernet
connection with IPv4 set to "Shared to other computers", which launches
dnsmasq and shares the connectivity obtained via wireless/modem/etc to
the wired connection.  However, the GNOME UI for Network Manager does
not offer the same option; it only offers a wireless hotspot option, and
when editing a connection, it does not understand the "Shared to other
computers" option (showing it as blank if opening such a connection
created in nm-connection-editor).

Do you really mean nm-applet here or the UI provided by GNOME Shell?

This also doesn't look like an issue caused by a Debian specific patch
or a Debian integration issue.
Please test with the latest version 1.0.0 from experimental, and if that
also exposes that behaviour, please do file a bug upstream and report
back with the bug number.

Thanks,

I don't mean the bit that drops down from the gnome-shell top bar; I'm
talking about the settings UI you get if you open "Network" in the GNOME
control center.  If that's not provided by network-manager-gnome, then
this bug should be reassigned to the package providing that UI.

I cannot test with 1.0.0, as that version breaks the GNOME integration
and the network control panel, and there doesn't appear to be a
corresponding version of GNOME in experimental (even if I wanted to
upgrade all of GNOME to experimental).

However, I can report this upstream against my current version, once I
know which package provides the GNOME "Network" control panel.
