The current libsdl-image1.2 for i386 in sid is compiled against
libpng3. The problem is that sdl-image1.2 Build-Depends on libpng-dev
which is provided by libpng2-dev, too. It might have happened that
some architectures builded sdl-image1.2 against libpng2-dev I think.
woody's is compiled against libpng2 on i386.

JFYI, there's no porting involved in practically 100% of the cases.

Yes. We just have to be careful about not breaking compatibility with
other distributions because SDL is something used by thrid parties
