Although I'm not an active user of wxWidgets I do know that the maintenance of wxWidgets in Debian has always been a major hassle. E.g. there still isn't a stable upstream release of wxWidgets that supports GTK 3. There is supposed to be one beginning next year, but apparently that has been said since almost three years. And the current stable branch, 2.8, still uses obsolete libraries like libgnomeprint and apparently wxWidgets upstream likes to introduce disruptive changes within a stable branch. So I hope, that we won't depend on wxWidgets as toolkit.
