No, the wxsqlite3 package is being updated to be built for wxwidgets3.0
instead of wxwidgets2.8.

Once the new version of wxsqlite3 which uses wxwidgets3.0 is uploaded to
unstable (it's currently in experimental), you'll need to change this
to instead be:
-lwxsqlite3-3.0 -lsqlite3

That'll be replaced by libwxsqlite3-3.0-dev.
You'll also need to update the build dependencies for wxwidgets2.8 to
wxwidgets3.0. Instead of:
libwxbase2.8-dev, libwxgtk2.8-dev, wx2.8-headers, wx2.8-i18n
You should just use:
libwxgtk3.0-dev, wx3.0-i18n
(Assuming you actually need the i18n files at *build* time - if not,
the wx*-i18n).
You may need to patch your upstream code to work with wx3.0. I've
not yet got to maitreya in my bug filing for the wx3.0 transition,
but I'll file a bug shortly with more info.

The "autorm" from testing may sound a bit scary, but it's really just
a way to make transitions less painful. If a package does get
removed by this, once a fixed upload is made to unstable, it'll
migrate back to testing in the usual way. But it's 4 weeks off, so
we should be able to get things fixed by then anyway.
