Bug#797650: libwx-perl: pulls in lots of development headers and documentation

Package: libwx-perl
Version: 1:0.9923-4+b1
Severity: normal
libwx-perl depends on libalien-wxwidgets-perl, which in turn depends on
libwxgtk3.0-dev and from there a bunch of X11-related development
headers and documentation.
This means installing e.g. needrestart-session turns the machine into a
development machine.
I believe development headers should be needed only during build.
One fix is probably a Debian-specific patch to not depend at runtime on
libalien-wxwidgets-perl, because we handle that using package metadata.
