Public bug reported:
>From my humble understanding installing a foo-dev package shouldn't be
necessary unless you want to build something that needs to compiled
against foo, should it?
There is at least one application/library - libspuEternal (a sound
plugin for various Playstation emulators) - which tries to access
libSDL.so, if you want to use the SDL framework as sound output.
Unfortunately libSDL.so is inside libsdl1.2-dev and not
libsdl1.2debian-* and therefore spuEternal will fail to recognize SDL,
if you don't know that. Since it spuEternal comes pre-compiled there's a
chance that you never installed libsdl1.2-dev, at all.
Therefore libSDL.so should be provided by the libsdl1.2debian-* packages
unless there are sane reasons against such a move.
** Affects: libsdl1.2 (Ubuntu)

- From my humble understanding installing a something-dev package
