The current pain does not yet offer enough gain.

No.

Yes.

Even the newest Debian ships with wxPython 2.4 (in stable
anyways). There is no pressing need for forcing users to go
beyond 2.4 for now. It would delay 0.1 by a significant amount
of time. It will be done when 2.6 becomes more spread among
default installs.

It *may* be worthwhile to fund someone to support
multi-version installs of wxPython under Debian.

Other than that what Sebastian said applies.
