unifont-bin depends on libwx-perl, which as mentioned in #1054146 is
unmaintained upstream and only minimally maintained in Debian.

debian-installer build-depends on unifont-bin, which brings libwx-perl
into the critical path for being able to build d-i.

As far as I can see, removing the unifont-viewer GUI tool (and its man
page, etc.) would be enough to be able to drop the libwx-perl dependency.
I suspect that unifont-viewer is not considered to be core functionality
for unifont-bin?
