[arch-projects] [netctl] hotfix for wifi-menu -o generated wpa profiles

[Jouke Witteveen]

Is there a reason the patched version (thanks) is going through
[testing]? We now have a package that causes problems in [core] and a
version that doesn't cause these problems and for the rest is not
worse in [testing].

Just curious,
- Jouke
