Uh, why? The libsdl1.2debian package is exactly the right one, since any
of the above are ok.
Unless you want every package to hard-code that any of these is fine,
which I think is really silly because each time a new libsdl1.2debian-*
package gets added the dependencies of all packages using libsdl need to
be updated...
