Hi Danny,
What's the reason for this change?
Webkitgtk is actively examined and exploited by security researchers. I
think we should try not to build wxwidgets with this unmaintained
version of webkitgtk.
If some application needs wxwidgets with this older webkitgtk, we should
make a new package for it and maybe file a bug upstream pointing out the
risks of such a dependency. We already have a few such "special"
wxwidgets packages.
