Yes, I was thinking of something like this too. Note that the use of Alien::wxWidgets seems to be limited to the Wx::build namespace, which sounds like a sensible splitting point. Maybe a separate libwx-build-perl package would be feasible. I don't really claim to understand how it all works together though, so this may well be non-trivial... -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
