I think I would like to revert a recent patch first. Recently I added 
debian/wpasupplicant.prerm with sole purpose of calling `invoke-rc.d 
wpa-ifupdown stop' on removal. After thinking about it for a bit, 
wpa-ifupdown should really not be used in this way for two reasons:

* ubuntu compatibility (fear of divergence)
* that script should die one day, so lets not depend on it at all if possible
 
I don't think its really critical to shutdown wpa_supplicant on removal, and I 
do hope people have enough common sense to know that action can break their 
wireless link.

So if you don't mind I'd like to have debian/wpasupplicant.prerm purged before 
entrance to unstable? If you agree, please do so before upload, that would be 
the only delta to the current package in experimental from my POV.

Other than that, just bear in mind that it was suggested not to flood the 
unstable archive _too_ soon[1]. At least i would not hold it against you 
though ;-)
