Notes

• To be on the safe side, arch dependent options are included in the matrix, although e.g. libgles2-mesa-dev [not hurd-any] is of course the same as libgles2-mesa-dev. However, some specific versions of SDL2 might have compatiblity problems, therefore treating them as “separate dependencies”, leaving both in.
• Pretty sure the following are dependencies just for building from source, not for SDL2 itself (included for completeness): autconf, automake, build-essential, cmake, debhelper *, dh-autoreconf, doxygen, libtool, make, mercurial, pkg-config
