I agree with the other posters that this is an unfortunate situation.
Is there any way to provide an alternative, non-crippled version of
Erlang/OTP that includes the wx module.  erlang-wx is required for some
useful programs.

Would it be possible to package up another erlang in universe using the
alternatives system?  I notice that there is a version of erlang-base
with HIPE enabled, could something similar be done with wx?

I would be willing to devote time to such a project and even maintain
such a package if someone would be willing to mentor me.  I know I could
just create a PPA, but I think this would be useful to enough users that
it should really be part of the Universe repos.
