Are we shipping SDL compiled with DEBUG on?

According to one reply in your [2] linking to [3] containing the lines
below, this is actually a C file from PyGame (presumably binding
SDL<->Upper layers in Python for PyGame).  I don't know anything about
PyGame, though.

#ifdef DEBUG
    printf("SDL_JoystickGetHat value:%d:\n", value);
#endif

I verified libsdl1.2's debian/rules and logs, and DEBUG doesn't seem
to be enabled.

Can you please confirm if I am right and the problem is elsewhere, or
if you have further concerns about SDL?
