After discussion with upstream it looks like this is going to be worked 
around in SDL 3 and not in sdl2-compat, so reassigning.

It would be better if the affected games could stop being setgid, as 
discussed on debian-devel-games in the thread starting at [0], but I 
realise that this will not necessarily be completely straightforward for 
all setgid games.
