But the problem seems to be that the wayland backend shown at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X6jxGeEevw is missing in debian. I only get "Couldn't Initialize SDL Video: No available video device" when running the example programs in the libsdl2 tests folder.

As far as I can tell, this is supported in forks, but it's not
supported officially yet.

This is the more on-topic and recent information that I got from the
different channels (mailing list, bug reports, forums...) from the
upstream devels:
http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=8605&highlight=wayland

So this cannot be fixed at the moment in this source package until
they support it officially.

Cheers.
