I've fixed a few issues but there are still some things that need to be investigated:

- Lots of missing-field-in-dep5-copyright and
  missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright lintian warnings
- The current upstream snapshot seems to contain the code two times.
  Once in ./ and once in SDL/.
- doc-base-file-references-missing-file libsdl2-dev:13 /usr/share/doc/libsdl2-dev/docs/index.html
- libsdl2-2.0-0: dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.0.0
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so
- Some configure flags seem to no longer exists (e.g. --enable-nasm). Someone should go
  through the list and remove them (including obsolete (build-)depends).
- The current version version is ...-2 even though libsdl2 has never made it
  to the archive. Maybe we should just truncate the whole changelog to a single
  entry?
- MMX, 3dnow and SSE are enabled by default. AFAIK that is not allowed on i386.
