Bug#895518: libsdl2-dev is not Multi-Arch compatible

Sorry, I mixed things up.

On Debian Testing libsdl2-dev (2.0.8+dfsg1-1) supports multiarch and 
it's libxkbcommon-dev that ruins it for everyone (see bug 893855).

But I'm also working on a Debian 9.4 VM and there libsdl2-dev 
2.0.5+dfsg1-2 does not support multiarch.

I got confused and thought both issues had the same source. So while I'd 
still really like libsdl2-dev to support multiarch in Debian Stable 
(because that's what people are told to use after all and it would be 
consistent with point 4 of the Social Contract[1]), I can understand 
if this bug gets closed.
