I'd ask you to reconsider adding a dependency from both -dev packages
to wx-common.  

In a narrow sense, you are right to say that there is no dependency in
that you *could* build wxWidget-using code without either wxwin.m4 or
wx-config.  I'd bet that is a rare case.  Indeed, wxWidgets is
specifically for cross-platform applications, so I'd expect most of
them to require probing for the library location at build time.  Both
build-time probe mechanisms are in wx-common only.  

At the very least, please consider adding a note to README.Debian
in both -dev packages as to where one may find wx-config and wxwin.m4.
It took me an hour to find it when I first installed the packages.

Thanks,
-Steve
