All you need is the libsdl1.2 source package (apt-get source libsdl1.2) and the new upstream tarball. You can then use uupdate to integrate the new tarball into the Debian package. After that just build the package with a suitable changelog entry. You can look at my howto on Debian package customization for pointers: http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/howtos/debcustomize -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
