Sort of. The next major release of SDL was originally going to be 1.3,
and be compatible with 1.2. The compatibility was eventually abandoned,
and the release was called 2.0. I'm not sure where libsdl-devel fits
along this timeline. Probably not much point keeping it around in any case.

On another point related to this, someone apparently went through and
changed most of the port:libsdl dependencies to
path:lib/pkgconfig/sdl.pc:libsdl without checking if the ports worked
with libsdl-devel as well as libsdl. It's likely many of them should be
changed back.
