Package: libsdl2-dev
Version: 2.0.8+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The development package is not multiarch aware which causes the amd64
version to conflict with the i386 one, thus making it impossible to
install both.
As a result the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL2.so symbolic link is
missing so that developping 32 bit applications that use this library
is impossible on a 64 bit system.
In particular this makes development of the Wine project really painful
on Debian as Wine really needs both 32 and 64 bit support since most
64 bit Windows applications have a 32 bit installer.

Right, that's not a change suitable for a stable release update.
It could be done by providing a backport of libsdl2, however without
changes to libxkbcommon-dev that won't be of much use anyway.
