It works with overriding dh_gencontrol, cf. the attached quick patch,
which leads to:

 Depends: perl (>= 5.18.2-7), perlapi-5.18.2, libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libwxbase3.0-0 (>= 3.0.1-2), libwxgtk-media3.0-0 (>= 3.0.1-2), libwxgtk3.0-0 (>= 3.0.1-2), libwxgtk3.0-0 (<< 3.0.2~), libwxgtk-media3.0-0 (<< 3.0.2~), libwxbase3.0-0 (<< 3.0.2~), libalien-wxwidgets-perl (>= 0.65+dfsg~)

But yes, maybe the Provides way is more elegant.
