That would do it.

In Debian, the underscore character separates the package name from the 
version number, so can't be used like this.

As I've never called the executable directly, I've never noticed the 
underscore.

And doing an apt-cache search for wpa_supplicant brings up dhcpcd-gtk and 
wpagui but not wpasupplicant.  #fail
