Since libgengameng.la will drop these dependencies when rebuilt against the current libsdl, I have scheduled binNMUs for precisely this issue on the autobuilders. It would be a good idea to drop libgengameng.la from the binary package anyway in favor of pkg-config support, but as libgengameng doesn't currently ship a .pc file for pkg-config, we shouldn't be too hasty on this point.
