SDL 1.2 is unmaintained upstream. The long-term replacement is SDL 2 (or even SDL 3). A migration guide is available: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/MigrationGuide If it is not possible to port to SDL 2, dependent packages should be tested with libsdl1.2-compat-shim (preferably version 1.2.64 or later). libsdl1.2-compat-shim is a compatibility layer that provides the SDL 1.2 API/ABI by using SDL 2: it has already replaced the "classic" SDL 1.2 library in some other distributions like Fedora and Arch, and my intention is to do the same in Debian during the trixie release cycle. It is not necessary to change dependencies from libsdl1.2debian to libsdl1.2-compat-shim, or from libsdl1.2-dev to libsdl1.2-compat-dev. My intention is to make a future version of sdl12-compat take over the old package names, to minimize the changes that are required in dependent packages. -- This bug report is part of a mass-bug-filing: <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2023/06/msg00120.html>
