I don't know what version you are using, but we enabled support for
this library quite a while ago:

-------------
libsdl1.2 (1.2.15-4) unstable; urgency=low

  [...]
  * Enable support for touch screen library (Closes: #674799)
  [...]

The packages depend on the library (see "dep" and "adep"):

https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libsdl1.2
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libsdl1.2debian


I don't know if it's working well, but at least the support should be
present and you shouldn't need to compile a new version to enable it.

Let us know of your findindgs :-)


Cheers.
