For future reference, you can see the whole dependency tree by running this:

	apt-cache --recurse depends python-wxgtk2.8

Interestingly, you can see that the openoffice packages are listed 
there, but if you trace the dependencies back you'll see that they are 
several dependency "layers" away from the wx packages, apparently via 
some gnome and/or gstreamer dependencies, and at least one of the links 
are "Suggests" rather than "Depends".
