Bug#766746: [pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#766746: wpasupplicant: install interface-specific systemd service file

[Enrico Rossi]

Dear Maintainer,

In order to start using systemd-networkd with wpasupplicant, the
mentioned service file is needed. I also have installed the file by hand
and make things work, but I would have preferred to find it in the
package.

I suggest you to reconsider this bug. I don't think a whishlist severity
is appropriate anymore.

Thanks for your effort.
E.

 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].

Well, right now I installed the file manually so there's no urgency.

Cheers

[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.
