I've found libsdl1.2debian-all in Ubuntu Natty, which this software was 
packaged for, and the only two operative files in it are:
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.3

There is a libsdl1.2debian-all for Debian Testing, which I'm running, but it's 
not built for amd64 yet.  There is a libsdl1.2debian-all for squeeze, and it 
has exactly what Natty's has.

And the kicker is that libsdl1.2debian (no -all) which I have installed, has 
these exact files with these exact names as well.  So I think the software is 
looking for the package name with -all, and when it doesn't find it it fails.  
I overrode dependencies and installed it anyway, but inexplicably it does 
everything but show video.

There is a way to determine what libraries are required by an executable, but I 
don't remember what it is.
