I asked the Debian-developer-accessible mirror of the Debian archive,
and it said there is nothing in either testing or unstable that Depends or
Build-Depends on libapache2-mod-wsgi - so from a dependency point of view,
that binary package can be removed from the mod-wsgi source package at any
time. (Unless its maintainer knows of other reasons why it must be kept?)

I hope this helps,
