Clearly man page is out of date - file a bug.

Drop -D option, wpasupplicant will use wext, which is the default -
should work just fine. You can also try nl80211.

On Debian, there's already a directory /etc/wpa_supplicant/, it might be
worth putting it there.
There's no need to run wpa_supplicant "by hand" - it integrates nicely
with ifupdown. You can simply put:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
into your /etc/network/interfaces (add "wpa-debug-level 3" if you're
having problems) and use ifupdown.
Already suggested - read documents in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant.
