Package: gpac
Version: 0.5.0+svn5194~dfsg1-2
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

We're aiming to migrate the archive to using wxwidgets3.0 instead of
wxwidgets2.8.

The gpac package has a build dependency on libwxgtk2.8-dev, but in
fact this isn't really used - the upstream "configure" checks for
wx and extracts some values from wx-config, but nothing I can find
uses them - in fact I can't see any code using wx classes in the
unpacked sources (I guess it was removed in the dfsg repack).

The package still builds after removing this BD (patch attached), and
debdiff on the _amd64.changes files for a build before and after this
change only shows changes in the build-ids of debug symbol files (which
you'd expect with any rebuild).

I'm happy to NMU this change if you wish me to - just let me know.

Cheers,
    Olly
