There were serious questions in my previous email which I've considered in
selecting the 0.6.X branch of wpa_supplicant for the next stable release of
Debian. Debian unstable is the starting point for packages intended for the
next release while the package archive is unfrozen.

Please do offer suggestions as to why 0.7.X is a better candidate.

CRDA and wireless-regdb are proving difficult to integrate into the
distribution.
