I have prepared and tested (for the non-udeb cases, see below) iw[1] and
wpasupplicant[2] in svn now, likewise hostapd[3] will switch to
libnl-3 >= 3.2 (from libnl1) after it gets available in unstable (no
urgency at all).
Something seems to be missing for the udeb handling though:
Package: wpasupplicant-udeb
[...]
Depends: libc6-udeb (>= 2.13), libcrypto1.0.0-udeb (>= 1.0.0), libnl-3-200-udeb
(>= 3.2.3), libnl-genl-3-200, busybox-udeb
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not overly familiar with udeb specifics, but I think this is
missing something equivalent to
DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS_libnl-3-200 := -V"libnl-3-200 (>=
$(DEB_UPSTREAM_VERSION))" --add-udeb=$(udeb)
in libnl3's debian/rules.
We can look for upload sponsoring as needed, at least once the udeb
issue with wpasupplicant is settled.

All afforementioned packages only need those two. Additionally I've
taken a look at crda (disclaimer, I've been involved in the initial
packaging, but am currently not its maintainer) which would only need
those as well (it's currently still using libnl1); crda is required by
mac80211 based kernel modules to switch regulatory domains (access
channel 12-14 or basically any 5 GHz channel) both interactively
(iw reg set <country code, like US, DE>, /etc/default/crda) or
non-interactively through EEPROM/ OTP regdom hints).
For iw (which is needed by crda's udev rules), it would be nice to
have libnl.so.3 and libnl-genl.so.3 in /lib/ (#622247: iw binary should
be installed in /sbin). The wpasupplicant package would also profit
from that (#537790), although it is haunted by openssl and zlib as
dependencies well.
