I've confirmed that the dependency isn't necessary: please see attached patch, also available as <https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libopenhmd/-/merge_requests/2>. I haven't tested the resulting binaries (I don't have any VR hardware), but diffoscope says they are identical to the result of rebuilding the current source with the same toolchain. smcv

Removing this build-dependency reveals a missing build-dependency on pkgconf or pkg-config (for pkg.m4), without which autoreconf will fail; so add that instead. The resulting binary packages when built with the libsdl1.2-dev build-dependency are identical to those when built with only the pkgconf build-dependency (checked using diffoscope).
