I'm aware of that and plan[1] to look into it for jessie+1, but at this
point in the freeze it feels too risky to add these (as there is a 
certain overlap with the systemd units for network-manager).

If you are sufficiently confident about it /and/ can check it with 
network-manager, I'd be fine with you NMUing[2] wpa for this 
change - but I can't/ won't take the responsibility for potential 
network-manager related regressions 10 days before the freeze[3].

[1]	I'm very interested in networkd, but haven't completely migrated
	my relatively advanced networking setup (including tun, rather than
	tap based, virtual interfaces for qemu) from ifupdown to networkd.
[2]	experimental would be totally fine with me, but please be very 
	careful if you want to get it into unstable and subsequently jessie.
[3]	keep in mind that wpa produces an udeb and also needs explicit 
	unblocking by debian-boot and the d-i team as well.
