Now that I think about it how did we manage to get QGIS/GRASS etc from
ubuntugis and SAGA from your ppa if there is a conflict?

Maybe I'm not understanding this package naming resolution.

I'm also curious about wx 2.9 and why that's a requirement, according to
wx project 2.8.x is the current stable line. Don't let this hold you up,
I'm just curious for knowledge sake.

Thanks,
Alex
