Thanks for the info, Christoph. The answer from Peter De Wachter in the Debian bug report explain the problem. Supertuxkart needs 24bit colors now to run. I am using 16bit on both of my machines, so that's the reason why the game doesn't start. However it's still not really clear to me why this worked in earlier Ubuntu releases.
