I've been looking through the handful of packages which are still
using wxwidgets3.0 with an eye to seeing if any can usefully be
NMUed to help them reenter testing before the release freeze.

I see in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986739#5 :

| (upstream switched to QT5 3 years ago)

That comment is dated 2021-04-10 so it's actually more like 5 years ago
now.

That's long enough ago that the code is likely to need changes for wx3.2
so it seems most sensible to address this bug by packaging a recent
snapshot from upstream (or convincing upstream to make a release) which
would eliminate the wxwidgets dependency.

Updating to newer upstream code also seems like probably it's the best
way to address most of the other open RC bugs.

Cheers,
