Sure, can do. I did most of the review already, and if we decide otherwise
wrt 1.6-pre1, can always unset.

Upstream says:
# Note that 1.6 is bleeding edge and still needs polishing before it can
# replace 1.5. It is recommended you use 1.5.
On the other hand, moving from SDL1.2 to SDL2 is a big change, so I
understand wanting to use the new version already, both for programs using
this library and to avoid doing this part of packaging twice.
On the third hand, though, there's a significant risk the API/ABI might
change before final 1.6.
