sdl12-compat is still the SDL 1.2 API, which has been deprecated for
many years, so I'm reopening this. It should stay open as long as
xine-lib-1.2 has a (build-)dependency on the SDL 1.2 APIs.
The two possible ways to close this bug are:
* xine-lib-1.2 switches to the SDL 2 API (natively, without going via
sdl12-compat), like wolf4sdl recently did
* xine-lib-1.2 disables/removes its use of SDL, like vlc recently did
This bug is not release-critical, and if you are unable to do either of
those, then the bug can stay open. I am not intending to remove
sdl12-compat until a lot more packages have moved to SDL 2.

This has now been done in unstable. Please revert the build-dependency
to libsdl1.2-dev in a future upload, so that libsdl1.2-compat-dev can
be removed after Debian 13 is released without causing disruption for
this package.
