After the recent update of sdl12-compat to 1.2.74, libsdl-perl is
failing one of its autopkgtests (t/core_palette.t). The failing part is:
>my $disp = SDL::Video::set_video_mode( 640, 480, 8, SDL_SWSURFACE );
>
>SKIP:
>{
>
> skip( 'Cannot open display: ' . SDL::get_error(), 4 ) unless ($disp);
> isa_ok( $disp->format, 'SDL::PixelFormat', 'Are we a SDL::PixelFormat?'
> );
>
> isa_ok( ### THIS FAILS ###
> $disp->format->palette, 'SDL::Palette',
> 'Palette is SDL::Palette when BitPerPixels is 8 '
> );
The expected result is that $disp->format->palette is a palette object,
the actual result is that it's undef (which I think maps to
SDL_SetVideoMode(...)->format->palette == NULL in C).
It is not yet clear whether this is considered to be a regression in
sdl12-compat, or an overly specific test assertion in libsdl-perl. I've
asked SDL upstream.
libsdl-perl is a binding for an obsolete version of SDL (#1038083), but
it's still used by two remaining games (frozen-bubble, pangzero) and one
graphics demo (dizzy).

* d/p/Revert-video-Don-t-tear-everything-down-in-SDL_SetVideoMo.patch:
Temporarily revert an upstream change that addressed a regression when
using sdl2-compat with SDL 3.4.x, but regresses "classic" SDL2. We can
put this back when a better solution is found, or when we are ready to
switch to sdl2-compat as the default implementation of SDL 2.
(Mitigates: #1127514; Closes: #1127025)
