Oh, do those tarball code-drops have changes that are newer than what's
in https://github.com/renpy/pygame_sdl2 git?

I see. Do I understand correctly that we would consider it to be a bug
for anything other than renpy to use pygame-sdl2?

If so, I think if I was the Debian maintainer of these packages,
I'd be very tempted to vendor pygame-sdl2 into renpy (using dpkg's
multiple-.orig-tarballs feature if upstream have not done similar
vendoring) so that there's only one Debian source package to keep track
of, and no possibility of version skew between renpy and its pygame fork.
