That's true. Given the fact that there aren't any applications depending
on 1.6, simply updating the sfml source package to version 2 should suffice.

That sounds good. Christoph Egger is the current uploader of sfml but I
think he wouldn't refuse an offer for help. Even if the c and python
bindings won't work anymore (at least for a while), I think it makes
sense to move on with SFML 2, so that a real application can benefit
from it.

You can use mentors [1], the debian-devel-games mailing list [2] and our
irc channel at irc.debian.org #debian-games for publishing your package,
requesting sponsorship and asking questions of course.

Cheers,

Markus
