Hm, alternatively making libalien-wxwidgets-perl (which is the one
containing the actual information linked to the 'gtk2_3_0_1_uni_gcc_3_4'
key) Provide something mangled from that, and having libwx-perl
Depend on that could work too. Obviously both need to be handled
in a binNMU-safe way.

 Package: libalien-wxwidgets-perl
 Provides: wxperl-gtk2-3-0-1-uni-gcc-3-4

 Package: libwx-perl
 Depends: wxperl-gtk2-3-0-1-uni-gcc-3-4

Possibly just 'wxperl-3.0.1' would do, I don't really mind.

This is closer to describing the actual problem IMO,
but maybe there's a problem that I don't see? Eyeballs welcome.
