Isn't the "-Wl,--as-needed" automatically passed by dh system? are you overriding LDFLAGS somewhere?

I'll rebuild and give you results soon, in the meanwhile I attach the two build logs

Last thing:
I installed in a sid chroot the wx-3 package, with also the webview support package.

After that I removed the libwebkitgtk-dev and dpkg didn't complain, also didn't complain about anything else.
So can we say libwebkitgtk-dev is just a build dep and not a runtime one? Can this simplify things?
(I think it doesn't simplify anything because the package brings other dependencies)

I'll try to pass the flags as requested

thanks,

Gianfranco
