thanks

My current work pushing to eliminate wxwidgets2.6 from the archive is
progressing nicely, and I'm pretty confident we can get that done by the
end of the year, and we're nearly at the stage where all that's left is
giving maintainers a reasonable opportunity to make the needed changes,
and NMU those packages that remain unfixed.

So the next logical step seems to be to package wxwidgets2.9 to
experimental which will new packages wanting to use it to at least get
started, and will hopefully allow us to be ready when 3.0 gets released
(since the 3.0 package should be very similar to the last 2.9 ones).

Cheers,
