And this also keeps me from satisfying this bug report (by not removing 
a modified /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf). Not only do leave a zombie file, 
but we'd need to hack the maintainer script trio in such a way that 
would not cause further problem. I am not sure I am comfortable with the 
required changes to satisfy this bug at this stage.

Thanks, Kel.
