You are totally right, I can see it now.... However, I want to point out that we don't need to wait for mrpt-2.0.0, since the current version in unstable (1.5.8) already fixes this wxwidgets3.0-gtk3 bug. As you said, the problem now is the build issue in mipsel... I wrote an email to ftpmasters 12 days ago requesting the deletion of mrpt-1.x.x for mipsel, so we could go on quickly ago, but had no response yet. Perhaps you know a better way to go though? Perhaps a patch in debian/control to specify that we want mrpt-1.5.8 to get built on all archs except mipsel? Thanks, JL
