I've prepared an according upload at:

dget	http://aptosid.com/slh/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.7.3-5.dsc
	http://aptosid.com/slh/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.7.3-5.debian.tar.gz
	http://aptosid.com/slh/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant_0.7.3.orig.tar.gz

build tested on amd64, i386 and kfreebsd-amd64, the kfreebsd-any udeb 
doesn't get created anymore, debdiff between 0.7.3-4 and 0.7.3-5 below.

It would be great if you could sponsor that upload, as I can only try 
to contact our regular sponsor this evening.

I will file a wishlist bug against libpcap, hopefully with a build-
tested patch, over the weekend.
