The wxUSE_GUI=0 was probably a bad sign ;-) When it is setup correctly,
the build will find -D__WXGTK__

Yay!

Alien/wxWidgets.pm installs in 'arch' because the settings are
architecture specific. If you want to change that, you'll need to add
an "--install_path arch=..." argument to Build.PL.

That sounds ominous, but I think these messages are the actual problem:
> Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lwx_gtk2_adv-2.8
It is not harmless. I'm guessing that your wx is unicode, which means
that should be -"lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8", so something went wrong. (Or
maybe it isn't unicode and something still went wrong.)
What do you get for these?
wx-config --cflags
wx-config --cxxflags
wx-config --libs
The last should match:
perl -e 'use Alien::wxWidgets; warn Alien::wxWidgets->libraries'
And, because you installed the deb, the files should be
in /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_*
Aside: I once had some trouble with Alien on debian etch because of
mismatched symlinks to my gcc and g++, but none of your symptoms seem
to match that.
