That wasn't me for this particular package, but I've made the equivalent
change in some other game engines.

Upstream specifically removed the OpenAL normal-linking code path, so
if we want to use normal linking we'll either have to persuade them
that distros need this even though upstream binaries don't want it,
or have it as permanent delta (as it is in darkplaces). I'm not sure
whether it's worth diverging for this.
