Dear maintainer,

We're aiming to migrate the archive to using wxwidgets3.0 instead of
wxwidgets2.8.

The p7zip package has a build dependency on libwxgtk2.8-dev, and the
build compiles and links a gui called 7zG, but this isn't actually
installed into either of the binary packages, and so there's no runtime
dependency on any of the wxwidgets library packages.

I see an older changelog entry which says:

p7zip (4.65~dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Remove wx2.8 Build-Depends added by mistakes (7zG is not yet
    intended to be built).

But there's no entry I can see noting that these BDs were readded, so
it's unclear to me if the GUI is intentionally not packaged (in which
case not building it would be better to avoid wasting buildd time and
having a needless dependency on wxwidgets), or if not installing the
built binary is an oversight.

Cheers,
    Olly
