Hi Michael,
That'd be great, thanks.

The package has been modified according with this approach.
I also mode two minor changes:
* dh --parallel
* removal of wpasupplicant.postrm which used to purge log files, no logs are
created anymore. Upgrading from etch -> squeeze would leave these old
logfiles around though, any ideas if this can/should be handled better?
It is at the same uri:
<http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.6.10-1.dsc>
Thanks, Kel.
