These all look good.

I asked on the mailing list about this:

Looks like Ron's the only one who can accept people.  I'll try to sort
that out.

This is bad - the main library package has gained dependencies on:

    libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0 (>= 1.5.1)
    libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.4.0)
    libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 (>= 1.3.10)

Not sure what's going on here - dh_shlibdeps should get this right, and
it seems to for the media libraries.  I probably won't have time to poke
at this for a few days (I was away last week and have a bit of a
backlog), but you could try looking at the libraries in your newer
libwxgtk3.0-0 package and see if any of them actually depend on any of
the libraries in the list above.

Not sure if there's a simple way to run dh_shlibdeps or dpkg-shlibdeps
in a way to see what's going on there, but you can easily look at what
the elf data says about needed libraries like so:

readelf -a libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.so.0|grep NEEDED

Also not good for the same reason.
