That's great.

It means the "architecture-independent" wx3.2-examples is different
depending on where it is built. I'd thought policy didn't allow that
though I'm failing to spot anything explicitly about it.
It seems better avoided though and could easily be by adding something
like this at a suitable place in debian/rules (untested - in particular
the path is something of a guess):
sed -i 's/webrequest wi/webrequest webview wi/' \
debian/tmp/wx3.2-examples/examples/samples/Makefile
# Check it worked.
grep -w webview debian/tmp/wx3.2-examples/examples/samples/Makefile
That'll be a no-op if webview is already listed, but fixes the file to
match a build with webview if it isn't. The `grep` avoids it quietly
failing if a new sample is added that sorts between `webrequest` and
`wi`.
Cheers,
