By "they" you must surely mean the wxWidgets maintainer. It would be nice to have some influence over that maintainer. I would ask, why are you using 2.8.x at all? Attached is the the output of $ ./configure --help and it shows that wxWidgets subversion head still supports --with-gnomeprint --with-gtkprint' and that perhaps they are default settings. This subversion head would correspond more with 2.9.5 than with 2.9.4. So the package maintainer must have added the without option. > My guess is other Debian based distros will soon > follow suit so this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The next harder solution but more flexible solution, is for folks to build their own wx or at least have an option to. With Brian's work this is not going to be impossibly difficult.
