I've prepared a package for upload, it requires sponsorship. If you are
comfortable sponsoring this upload it'd be great, most of the changes are
in reaction to /run.

The source package can be found on mentors:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hostapd/hostapd_0.7.3-3.dsc

Changes: 
 hostapd (1:0.7.3-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .

   * Use /run/sendsigs.omit.d/ for sendsigs omission pid file and depend on
     initscripts (>= 2.88dsf-13.3). (Closes: #633026)
   * Migrate existing sendsigs omission pid files from /lib/init/rw to /run.
   * Add a loop to ifupdown.sh to wait for creation of hostapd pid file before
     attempting creation of sensigs omission pid file, in some cases hostapd
     daemon can return before creation of the pid file has been written to disk.
   * Adjust standards version to 3.9.2, no further changes required to
     satisfy that.
   * Only test that DAEMON_CONF is set in init.d script, do not test if what is
     set is readable (which assumes only one configuration file is being used).
     (Closes: #615821)
 .

   * use new anonscm URIs for alioth.

Thanks, Kel.
