Should be enough to remove the file
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service
Move it somewhere so you can restore it, rather than immediately delete it. ;-)

Seems to still be the case for Ubuntu 15.10, which uses systemd. wpa_supplicant is started from dbus, not from init scripts directly:systemctl status wpa_supplicant.serviceshows it's running, but not auto-started by systemd directly. (So disabling for future boots isn't possible withsystemctl). Also,dpkg-divertwill keep it disabled across package upgrades.
