I'm currently working to migrate all reverse dependencies of wxwidgets2.6 to
wxwidgets2.8 and to get wxwidgets2.6 removed before wheezy.
It looks like there are a number of genuine instances of this, but there
haven't been reports of problems from users, so I think it makes most sense
to wontfix this issue for wxwidgets2.6. There's already a corresponding bug
for wxwidgets2.8 which needs the attention more.
Cheers,
