Annoyingly, "/sbin/wpa_supplicant" is provided by the "wpasupplicant"

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
