Bug#1116350: python3-pygame-sdl2: release 8.4.1-1 does not ship the C header files

[Alexandre Detiste]

It does for the "makefile" build system but apparently not for python build
system...

At this point it's easier to add back the missing files using
debian/install list

https://manpages.debian.org/testing/debhelper/dh_auto_install.1.en.html

This package should not even exists. Upstream would/should switch back to
the real PyGame or merge that old fork in the main codebase...  it is not
moving very fast at all so I guess any ugly kludge in Debian packaging is ok
