Are you deliberately rebuilding the source package? That seems unusual
for testing whether packages FTBFS...

(etc.)

This seems to be because pygame-sdl2 rebuilds parts of itself during
`debian/rules clean`, possibly triggered by being built with a newer
version of SDL. That seems strange, and at least arguably a bug in its
own right?

Deleting these files in debian/clean would probably resolve this.
