They probably haven't updated since the tarball location has updated, yet the debian/watch file is still looking in the old location. Instead of:

3 http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/content/view/19/14/ \
4 /joomla/\.\./Software/SDL_gfx\-2\.0/SDL_gfx\-([\d.]+)\.tar\.gz

there should be:

3 http://www.ferzkopp.net/Software/SDL_gfx\-2\.0/SDL_gfx\-([\d.]+)\.tar\.gz

Ignore that last comment - upon closer inspection I found out, that the current version of debian/watch is indeed correct and I apparently have no idea what I'm talking about...

I bump that request. My game (warmux) is seeing numerous crashes on at least 10.04, and often visual glitches because of out-of-bounds reading fixed after 2.0.20. If you don't want to update the packager number (which is ABI compatible), please at least apply this much needed diff:
http://sdlgfx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sdlgfx?view=revision&revision=35
The crashes are erratic and probably causing troubles for other users without them knowing what happened.

Thanks
