Comment:

 Yeah,
 I noticed that Markus (mww) had redone the upgrade. I requested him to
 revert this (I guess we can do that after maintainer timeout). This whole
 mess is due to the unfortunate decision of wxPython upstream maintainer to
 include an own copy of wxWidgets containing modifications not present in
 the stable wxWidgets distribution (I complained about this with no
 positive result, however) leading to a situation, in which there is no
 guarantee whatsoever that a named version (e.g. 2.8.10.x) of wxPython
 compiles or runs with the named version (2.8.10.x) of wxWidgets. This is
 why we need both at level 2.8.9 at the moment...
