As long as libavdevice no longer depends on libsdl2 either, that'll suffice. libavdevice still depends on a handful of X libraries, but I don't mind having a few of those installed on my server, and I already had some of them for things like `ssh -X`. libsdl2 substantially increased the dependencies. Thank you!
