I think this should be fixed in packaging. grass virtual package includes grass-gui package. Failure in building grass-gui probably "xml or version key error" may result in the above behavious. In that case a patch can be applied when building deb file so that if wxpython dir is not found it can show a better error message. One thing can be fixed is checking the error message from parsing like i said above keyErorr['version']. There is a better complete error message a while ago in grass-dev list. </div>

<div>This is not so critical error, just a better error message would be nice. Maybe, the better error message would be enough also at start up. Something, like "Have you installed GRASS GIS with GUI?"<br></div>
