Package: libwx-perl

As announced in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/09/msg00139.html> and
<https://bugs.debian.org/1148038>, new upstream releases of WebKitGTK no
longer support big-endian architectures; but we cannot just stop
upgrading WebKitGTK, because it's security-sensitive on the
architectures where it remains.
One part of removing WebKitGTK from s390x (and the big-endian -ports
architectures) will be to remove libwxgtk-webview3.2-dev and
libwxgtk-webview3.2-1t64 from the affected architectures. However,
libwx-perl currently depends on those packages unconditionally, and will
become uninstallable if they are removed.
Ideally its Depends and Build-Depends should be reduced so they include
something like:
libwxgtk-webview3.2-dev [!s390x !hppa !m68k !powerpc !ppc64 !sparc64]
so that the package can still be built on s390x, but with reduced
functionality. Is that feasible?
Can libwx-perl be configured to have partial functionality on s390x, so
that all current features except for the web view remain available?
Or, does libwx-perl work somewhat gracefully if the web view library is
missing, with non-webview-based applications like needrestart-session
working normally?
If a reduced-functionality build is not feasible and it's
all-or-nothing, then libalien-wxwidgets-perl and libwx-perl will have to
be removed from s390x completely, which will involve removing
significantly more packages.
It looks as though the only two packages that actually use Wx::WebView
are chordpro and eekboek, both Architecture: all. I think it's probably
acceptable for these two packages to regress on s390x, which is not a
desktop platform. Removing libwx-perl from s390x completely would have a
larger impact, including breaking the dependencies of unifont-bin, which
is required by debian-installer.
