Bug#941024: libsdl2-ttf: please add an autopkgtest smoke-test

[Simon McVittie]

Source: libsdl2-ttf
Version: 2.0.15+dfsg1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Having an autopkgtest smoke-test is a useful way to check that packages
haven't regressed, and also a useful way to check that the pkg-config
metadata in a -dev package remains usable as-is (no missing dependencies).

In libsdl2-ttf, the demo/example code in showfont.c can be used as an
automated or manual smoke-test. Please consider the attached patch.
I wrote it while testing a backport of libsdl2-ttf in a Debian derivative,
but it's equally applicable in Debian itself.

(Of course, a more thorough test would also be great to have, but something
is better than nothing.)

Thanks,
