In fact there's no hostpd package in ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 even for 14.04

Try to install it this way:

sudo apt-get install ap-hotspot hostapd dnsmasq iw

Ap-hotspot depends on those three packages listed as followed in a command above.

Based on your last question, I'm assuming you're using 15.04. You can see that the webupd8 PPA doesn't have an ap-hotspot package for Vivid yet.

What software is in a repo is really up to the repo maintainer. In this case, Andrew of Web Upd8.
