On reflection, there are several factors contributing to the problem. Addressing any one of them would resolve the problem reported.

1. none of the Mir -dev packages are co-installable
2. libsdl2-dev should not depend on libmirclient-dev
3. SDL2 is being built with mirclient support on 18.10

1 & 2 have been the case since well before 16.04 and this issue has gone undetected. If there's a reason for /2/, it's a bad one. Regardless, we ought to address /1/.

3 is pointless and likely an oversight. I'm under the impression that SDL2 dropped mirclient support upstream, but I guess that hasn't filtered through yet. In any case mirclient lost GL support in 18.04 and will not support Nvidia eglstream drivers.
