According to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=708222#10
you should have received it, at least it was sent.

O.k., I'll look into it - although all non-trivial[1] configuration 
options require the additional syntax of wpa_supplicant.conf anyways…

Referring to your follow-up mail, yes, now that wheezy has been 
released, we can use /run/ instead of /var/run/ directly (without
Breaks on initscripts (<< 2.88dsf-13.3~), etc.).

[1]	I don't see us adding hooks for pairwise/ group or wpa enterprise
	options like key_mgmt, eap, phase2 or identity/ password/ ca_cert,
	at some point the additional options of using dedicated 
	configuration files for wpa_supplicant simply becomes required.
	Personally I consider the user/ group setting to be in that 
	general domain, but I can be convinced either way (changing the
	defaults and/or adding an ifupdown hook), given convincing 
	arguments for it.
