Thanks for updating taskcoach to use wxpython3.0.

However, the versioned dependencies you've specified mean that the
latest upload of wxpython3.0 (which contains fixes for other packages
using wxpython) can't migrate to testing without making taskcoach
uninstallable.

| Depends: python-wxgtk3.0 (<< 3.0.0.0+dfsg.0~), python-wxgtk3.0 (>=
3.0.0.0+dfsg), [...]

The >= restriction is pointless - every uploaded version satisfies it as
the first upload was 3.0.0.0+dfsg-1:

https://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wxpython3.0.html

By adding needless versioning of dependencies like this, you're mainly
just making life more difficult for the dependency resolver by giving it
more constraints to process.

If there's a reason for the upper bound on the version of
python-wxgtk3.0, you should really have discussed that before adding it,
rather than letting it be a nasty surprise now, when it blocks testing
migration of a newer wxpython3.0 upload.

Cheers,
    Olly
