Sorry for not replying earlier. The config file itself is necessary for the
init script [0] to work, and it doesn't really contain anything deviating
from sane minimal upstream defaults, but you're right that I should've made
it optional. I'll change its install to depend on $INIT_SCRIPT_INSTALLED
later today.
BTW, I remember asking if adding an init script to wpa_supplicant is OK (it
has none by default, but can be daemonized for use via a control interface),
and getting the green light from Sandalle. I can't seem to find that reply
anywhere, though. Nevertheless I'm not sure if he OK'd also a config file in
that context (as I said the init script needs the config to actually set up
the control interface).
