Sadly it's not that simple. Disabling libgnomeprintui support in wx2.8
results in it using some internal printing code, which works much less
well than its libgnomeprintui support does.
I checked the two wx-using packages which I maintained myself, and both
were negatively affected by its removal. For sffview, it breaks
printing totally (#645159). Given sffview is a viewer for a fax format,
being able to print seems pretty useful.
In wx2.9, GtkPrint is used instead, but wx2.9 isn't API or ABI stable
yet, so it's a bit soon to try to migrate debian to it.
I'm not sure what the best solution is. I did offer to take over
maintenance for the 3 recently removed libraries from the gnome team,
but they seem to have seen fit to simply rip them out instead.
Cheers,
Olly
