Dominique,

You mentioned this but we didn't spent time on. Here are my 2 euro
cents:

- create a clearly identified package containing WxWidget compiled with
  g++
- depend on the previously created package your new packages

The issue of where to install the dependency package is not clear for me
but it seems to be to be similar to the alternatives approach, i.e., I
have 2 similar packages and I choose on which to depend, both being
installable simultaneously.
