One hand if you drop the sdlmame package now, users making an upgrade
from the last LTS release to the next one will miss the package
transition. OTOH if we add a sdlmame virtual package, as there is no
sdlmame package in the debian archive, it will for sure make some people
( lintian .. ) not happy.

it's fine, go ahead

IMHO, for the mess package building in debian/rules, let stick now with
what we have in git and if it proves unmaintanable we will change it
