Either this check should only look at the major version, or it should be
removed completely in favour of letting the SONAME system do its job.
Please see the upstream issue report for more details.
If python3-pygame had an autopkgtest, even a superficial one that just
calls pygame.init() in an xvfb-run session, then that would have detected
this regression while SDL 2.23.x was in experimental, allowing this to be
fixed preemptively in unstable before SDL 2.24.x was released.

This is only a workaround, not a fix. The same issue would come back as
soon as we upgrade SDL to 2.26.0.
