MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for networkmanager-secure [2]:

Abandoned package, last updated in 2018.
(Flagged out-of-date in 2020, but not updated.)

Package name misleading.
This was not more secure than [extra] networkmanager.

It added only one privacy feature (hostname sending disabled),
while it weakened other security aspects with:
- disabling stricter build warnings,
- using obsolete iptables instead of nftables,
- turning off audit library.

It also disabled LTO, which degrades performance compared
to the repo package.

I strongly suggest to delete this package, as it has not
been maintained by anyone in 4 years and does not really
provide anything beneficial compared to [extra] networkmanager.
