Just a very quick/ short preliminary response, in general I'm not
exactly thrilled about adding this -considering my build issues with
eapol_test in previous src:wpa versions- but I haven't actually
revisited this particular question recently.
*If* eapol_test builds with v2.3, v2.4, v2.5 and hostapd HEAD without
having to fix bugs in the upstream code (I haven't tested this yet), I
could be convinced to add this functionality (well, v2.5 and HEAD would
be more important than the previous versions) to src:wpa, but if this
would still be a 'constant' source for build issues (demonstrating that
this isn't actually tested by upstream - last time I looked into it,
the build issues were trivial, but quite numerous), I'd tend towards
declining this (however, if there'd be an src:wpa co-maintainer who'd
take care of this aspect...). Have you checked buildability recently?
