Note you don't upload to testing - you upload to unstable, and then
the package migrates to testing.
I think this is probably a good idea. It seems there's something system
dependent here since wxmaxima rebuilt to use GTK3 doesn't seem to
flicker when scrolling horizontally or vertically to me, and so allowing
easy wider testing would be helpful in trying to work out what's going
on.

At this point the wxwidgets3.0-gtk3 transition is reporting 54% done:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/
There's also one bug tagged "pending" and two packages uploaded to
"experimental", so effectively 57% if you include stuff that's in
progress (there are about 100 packages involved in all).
I think even if wx 3.2 does come out soon we'd really want to get the
current transition completed first. Having to deal with 3 wx variants
at once sounds like more pain than necessary, and if we get the
GTK2->GTK3 issues dealt with now then that's less to deal with in the
second transition.
Cheers,
Olly
