Fair enough, but we took that as "one" rather than "the" example.
And if you look at the recent post on Planet Debian, it seems that the lack
of wxwidgets has now reached the PostgreSQL admin gui pgamin3. So the current
version of Pg in unstable no longer has a working admin gui. Not nice, and not
in line out cherished "our priority are our users" as we're now breaking working
installations.
