Is there debian packages for Debian and Ubuntu? If 2.9.3 can be used
in production environment, packages should be provided? Or how it is
supposed to be used?

Why there is no 2.9.X?
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wxwidgets2.8/
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wxwidgets2.8/

And even here:
http://apt.wxwidgets.org/dists/squeeze-wx/main/binary-i386/
http://apt.wxwidgets.org/dists/natty-wx/main/binary-i386/

How for example Audacity/FileZilla/Code::Blocks/etc should provide
binary packages with 2.9.X if wx has no official ones?
Create by themselfs? Or use static linking? Is there official
recommendation?

Boost library has officially released this year 1.46.0, 1.46.1,
1.47.0, 1.48.0. IIRC all this releases breaks ABI even 1.46.1 and
1.46.0. Here is binary packages:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/boost1.46/

Why wxWidgets do not provides binary packages with latest version for
production environment?

I hope there will be Debian packages for 2.9, Olly Betts (the new Debian
maintainer) should start working on them when he finishes getting rid of wx
2.6 (!) in Debian. This is not something we can guarantee however.

Sorry, is this a serious question? Just in case it is, the answer is that
you're supposed to compile it. What's the problem with it exactly?

Linking with wx statically is the usual solution.

Boost Debian maintainers seem to be very active, good for them.

Again, is this a rhetoric question? The answer is pretty obvious: because
nobody had the time to do them yet.

the 3.0 package should be very similar to the last 2.9 ones).http://
