Since python-wxtools will pull in some version of wxpython, they will
work, but only indirectly, and pulling in some unnecessary packages in
the process.

You can use:

python-wxgtk3.0|python-wxgtk2.8

Please make sure you put 3.0 first though.

Alternatively, the approach I take for the backports I maintain is to
have a script which adds a new debian/changelog entry and does any
tweaks to dependencies or other parts of the packaging which are needed
for cases like this.
