Bug#1038084: libalien-sdl-perl: Is a language binding for an obsolete version of SDL

libalien-sdl-perl is a language binding for SDL 1.2, which is unmaintained
upstream (superseded by SDL 2).

I'm assuming that a binding for SDL 2 would have to be a separate package
under a different name, so I've marked this as wontfix: it's likely that
the only way it can be closed is if libalien-sdl-perl is removed from
Debian, after porting or removing the games that currently depend on it.

Alien::SDL2, Alien::libsdl2 and SDL2::FFI seem to be possible replacements,
none of which are currently packaged in Debian. I have no knowledge of
their level of quality, so I am unable to make a recommendation.

The following games directly or indirectly depend on libalien-sdl-perl:

- dizzy
- frozen-bubble
- pangzero
