The work-around (for debian sarge) is
  wget
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wxwindows2.4/wxwindows2.4_2.4.3.1.tar.gz
  tar xzf wxwindows2.4_2.4.3.1.tar.gz
  su
  mkdir /usr/include/wx/wxPython/
  cp wxwindows2.4-2.4.3.1/wxPython/src/*.h /usr/include/wx/wxPython/

For ubuntu it should work similarly
(you can also replace the wget by a corresponding apt-get command
fetching the source).

HTH, Arnd
