As Andrey Pampukha pointed out, this is due to a decision made back in
Karmic that doesn't make sense any more.  Erlang is in Universe now, so
there is no reason not to compile it with support for wxWidgets.  Also,
there's the erlang-nox package for those who don't want to install an
erlang-wx package.

Is there a good reason why the maintainers can't turn this back on?
Heck, if I get confirmation that it will be accepted, I'll write a patch
to fix this myself.

I know about the repo that Erlang Solutions provides, but it'd be nice
to just be able to use the version of Erlang that is provided by Ubuntu
itself.
