New version of Dolphin, the Gamecube and Wii emulator (src:dolphin-emu),
have now the possibility to link to libmgba. You can read more info
about that here: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2021/07/21/integrated-gba/
(it requires a more recent version of mgba, but that's another topic)

I know that unfortunately the official dolphin debian package is stuck
to a very old version, but I hope that this will change
in the near future (see #986739).

It would be very cool if we can ship a libmgba-enabled dolphin package
in Debian, so I hope that a libmgba-dev package is not completely
out-of-the-question now that bullseye is released :-)

Best regards,

Sébastien
