I have no problems with shipping the old init script (or an improved
one) in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples. The local administrator
would have to install and activate it himself.

I'm not happy in installing it again in /etc/init.d per default. IMO
using wpasupplicant as system daemon is a highly nontrivial setup, which
requires a lot of tweaks and integration into the specific package
combimation used on the target system, and there is little we can do on
the packaging site to provide a suitable default configuration.

Therefore I'm proposing including an example initscript and some notes
how to use it. 

What do the others think about this?

Gruesse,
