Can you elaborate why you think so?

Iirc, I was the only one speaking against its removal.
You mean dropping ffplay altogether? - I am having a hard time parsing that sentence.
But given that your avconv project never contained an sdl output
device I wonder what your expertise is here?
I believe we may mis-communicating here. AFAIUI, the original poster wanted to make SDL an optional dependency. Even if the debian package was compiled with '--disable-outdev=sdl2', wouldn't the 'ffmpeg' binary package still continue to depend on sdl2 libraries? - In that case we haven't won anything by this. I guess the debian package would in addition have to pass the --disable-sdl2 switch to configure, which to my understanding would prevent 'ffplay' from being compiled. I would consider that a regression.
What might work is disabling the avdevice outdev AND moving 'ffplay' to its own binary package.
