Finally found the issue.

Looks like the ctrl unix sockets are not created if network-manager is not installed. Not sure about the complete work-flow, but goes like this:

* wpa_supplicant inits. It doesn't create any unix socket on normal startup
* network-manager ask for something in the dbus interface.
* wpa_supplicant runs wpa_supplicant_add_iface function which in turns creates the unix socket control for the interface.

The only remaining question is, there is a chance for a simple program to control wpa_supplicant daemon without network-manager or dbus?

I think that as long as this bug is not Debian related, it should be closed.
