I'm looking for an exhaustive list of wpa-* options that can be used in the /etc/network/interfaces file.

The Debian wiki has a how-to-use page here: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse, which refers to /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz for "additional" wpa-* options, but this file doesn't contain an exhaustive list, only a list of common options.

Where can I find a list of every available wpa-* option?

Failing that, is there an option to specify that wpa_supplicant be started with D-Bus enabled?

EDIT: On enabling D-Bus, looking in /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh, there doesn't appear to be any code that adds a -u to the WPA_SUP_OPTIONS variable. I added it manually to my own functions.sh in the initialisation of WPA_SUP_OPTIONS:

init_wpa_supplicant () {
        [ -n "$WPA_SUP_CONF" ] || return 0

        local WPA_SUP_OPTIONS
        WPA_SUP_OPTIONS="-s -B -P $WPA_SUP_PIDFILE -i $WPA_IFACE -u"
                                                   inserted here ^^

I'm not sure if this script is universal, or specific to Debian.

/etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh is what you're interested in. Look at the conf_wpa_supplicant function. In there, look for all of the calls to the wpa_cli_do function; you're interested in the 4th or 5th argument (if set_argument is the 3rd arg, then you want the 5th) to each call.

Here's a list I extracted quickly from the file with some shell magic:

wpa-ap-scan
wpa-preauthenticate
wpa-psk
wpa-wep-key[0..3]
wpa-altsubject-match
wpa-altsubject-match2

wpa-auth-alg
wpa-bssid
wpa-ca-cert
wpa-ca-cert2
