Qemu in Debian now switched over to SDL2, and while there are issues this will be extra maintenance effort. Might even be the same for more packages and we might get more component mismatches soon.

I outlined before that:
- the tests it has are not meant to run on build, see comment #11
- there should be no runtime dependency on libsdl2-dev (so that can stay in universe and therfore eliminate the need for MIR of libsndio-dev)
- tslib dependency is gone (at least when I checked in artful)

What is missing is:
- a Team subscriber (Desktop as it is UI?, it is very central lib so maybe also Foundations)?
- A security ack (there was no nack before, but things might have changed so please recheck)

For the latter being the next step I assign to Tyler to redirect as needed.
