Dear maintainer,

We're aiming to migrate the archive to using wxwidgets3.0 instead of
wxwidgets2.8, and intend to drop wxwidgets2.8 before jessie is released.

I tried to build sooperlooper with the BD updated to use
libwxgtk3.0-dev, but it fails due to API changes in wx.  However, I
noticed there's a newer upstream release (1.7.2) which "Fixed wx
compile issues" according to http://www.essej.net/sooperlooper/ -
looking at the changes, these fixes look like they're for 3.0
compatibility to me, and git commit messages reinforce this:

https://github.com/essej/sooperlooper/commit/c0f78d1d1be36ed498f478cd7e8373e2c3f02c55#diff-ec4673a6b57919e23702c41ff75a2314

So updating to the latest upstream release will hopefully be enough to
allow building with wx3.  But if you hit any problems with getting
packages working with wxwidgets3.0 which you can't overcome, let me know
and I'll try to help.

Cheers,
    Olly
