wpa (2:2.7-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  Starting from this version, the init script of hostapd will display
  a warning if DAEMON_CONF is set to a value different from
  /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf. A future upload will also attempt
  to migrate the configuration file to the new location.

wpa (2:2.6-10) unstable; urgency=medium

  The hostapd .service file is now automatically masked every time the
  package is upgraded with no valid configuration.

  The plan is to deprecate /etc/default/hostapd at some point, making
  /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf the standard location for the configuration
  file.

wpa (2:2.6-8) unstable; urgency=medium

  Since 2:2.6-6, hostapd ships a systemd .service file. As hostapd comes
  with /etc/default/hostapd file, which by default doesn't specify any
  config file, to prevent installation or boot failures, the package's
  postinst script masks the hostapd.service unit on the first install.
  After editing the default file, users need to unmask it themselves.
