As I see it, even without the new configuration options network configuration
was done in /etc/network/interfaces, wpa_supplicant was and is just a means
to connect to an available AP and do the encryption, key handling etc..

After all, I too think that it is good to have the new options, since they
might be of use for some people. But that does not justify breaking working
setups on upgrade. Clean and easy upgrades have always been one of Debian's
priorities and the most important reason I switched from SuSE to Debian about
6 years ago.
