Comment 21 for bug 1256185

Re-awakening this as qemu considers to provide SDL2 based backend (not sdl1) as alternative to gtk.
So the qemu driven demand is coming back into play.

I also had a few community people ask for it.

libdsl1.2 is out of main since Bionic.
This would bring in libsdl2 into groovy (or later).
So the old questions for "transitions" are no more important.

Stats of the day:
dep-sdl2: 179
b-dep-sdl2: 154
dep-sdl1.2: 379
b-dep-sdl1.2: 278

That means ~50 active packages switched over, the rest stayed as is.
But it is no more a matter of duplication since sdl1 is demoted quite a while now.

I'll put this back on security where it was before to evaluate.
@Security - if you end up Nacking I might still be able to provide it in qemu, but as an optional universe-level binary package.
