Bug#757308: grass: Please update to use wxpython3.0

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

just a metacomment:  Due to the wxPython issue several packages get RC
bugs filed which in several cases leads to the fact that these are
simply removed from testing and either create a lot of work or will be
lost for the Jessie release.  IMHO this is bad timing to get a
predependency for several applications removed quite close to a release
date.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
