In the case of game-data-packager, the dependency is in quake4 and cannot
be fixed: the proprietary binaries released by id Software depend on
SDL 1.2.

etqw and unreal are in a similar situation.

The work that remains to be done here, other than marking this as wontfix,
is to test quake4, etqw and unreal to make sure they run correctly with
libsdl1.2-compat-shim installed.
