This package has a Depends or Build-Depends on SDL version 1.2, which
is unmaintained upstream.

If possible, please port this package to SDL 2 and close this bug. There
is a migration guide at <https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/MigrationGuide>,
and examples of successful ports from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2 can be found in
the commit history of packages like darkplaces and ioquake3.

I tested asc with the libsdl1.2-compat-shim compatibility layer, which
implements the SDL 1.2 API/ABI in terms of SDL 2, and unfortunately
there's a regression there for GNOME users - please see my separate bug
report for that.

Thanks,
