[1] also states that:
The wpasupplicant package provides wpa-* ifupdown options for
/etc/network/interfaces. If these options are specified, wpa_supplicant
is started in the background when your wireless interface is raised and
stopped when brought down.
In simplier terms: no wpasupplicant = no WPA2.

"allow-hotplug" tells udev to raise a network interface after it's
attached to the kernel. This result of ifup is expected.
