I'm aware of that and plan[1] to look into it for jessie+1, but at this
point in the freeze it feels too risky to add these (as there is a
certain overlap with the systemd units for network-manager).
If you are sufficiently confident about it /and/ can check it with
network-manager, I'd be fine with you NMUing[2] wpa for this
change - but I can't/ won't take the responsibility for potential
network-manager related regressions 10 days before the freeze[3].

[1] I'm very interested in networkd, but haven't completely migrated
my relatively advanced networking setup (including tun, rather than
tap based, virtual interfaces for qemu) from ifupdown to networkd.
[2] experimental would be totally fine with me, but please be very
careful if you want to get it into unstable and subsequently jessie.
[3] keep in mind that wpa produces an udeb and also needs explicit
unblocking by debian-boot and the d-i team as well.
