It can't go in the -dev packages, its common to all of them, that's
why wx-common exists.  The missing dep for the wx-base package has
gone unnoticed until now though.

I'm not sure what I find more surprising though, that someone is using
wxbase without also needing the gui libs, or that you plan to use
wxwin.m4 to do it ...   Just call $(shell wx-config ...) directly from
your own makefiles.  It's much simpler, much less prone to doing
surprising things, and doesn't add 12k to your source to do just that.

Cheers,
Ron
