Dear Manuel,
Congratulations on getting SDL 2.0 in Debian now. I did see it come
yesterday in the archive :-

    libsdl2 (2.0.0~20130103-1) unstable; urgency=low

      [ Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo ]
      * debian/control:
        - Updating maintainers/permissions:
          - Add myself and Felix Geyer
        - Update Build-Depends:
          - Remove a few obsolete items
          - Add items added lately to libsdl1.2, such as libts (touch screen)
            support
        - Add "libsdl2-dbg", analog to libsdl1.2-dbg
        - Change "XC-Package-Type: udeb" to "Package-Type"
      * debian/compat: set level 9
      * debian/source/format: Set to "3.0 (quilt)"
        - Remove README.source, not needed with new format
      * debian/sdl2-config.1: Fix typo, "progams"->"programs"
      * debian/libsdl2-dev.install:
        - Remove "usr/lib/*/*.la", discouraged
        - Add man pages: "usr/share/man/man3/*"
      * debian/libsdl2-dev.manpages: add file to install local "sdl2-config.1"
      * debian/sources: Removed, possible obsolete file from long ago?
      * debian/copyright:
        - Upstream updated to zlib/libpng
        - Copyright-file format conversion to 1.0
        - Complete revamp and detailed research about copyright and
licenses used,
          it's very messy but hopefully complete

      [ Felix Geyer ]
      * Simplify debian/rules by using dh(1).

The great thing is that both SDL's can co-exist on the system till
people have not gone over to the newest library :-

$ sdl2-config --version
2.0.0

$ sdl-config --version
1.2.15

Now you can upload the newest version of SDL (or whenever you feel
something good is coming) in experimental and it should have
relatively a smooth sailing. (i.e. if you have upload rights otherwise
RFS)

Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanx again :)
