There may be a gotcha here if any of the arch=all package contents vary
when building without webview. I'm particularly thinking that
wx3.2-headers and wx3.2-doc might.
For the headers, perhaps the webview-related header files could move to
libwxgtk-webview3.2-dev, with an appropriate versioned Breaks/Replaces? That
would match the more common practice of having headers in the -dev package
(which I assume wxwidgets has only not done for size reasons).
For the documentation, I think it would be fine if the -doc package was
effectively only buildable on little-endian architectures:
Good news. The doc, headers, and i18n packages all build identically
with and without the webkit -dev package. The only difference is in the
examples package, and only in the top-level Makefile, see below.

I don't think this is important enough to do anything about (the webview
samples are still there).
I'll work on preparing an upload.
