   You need to apply the patch to the SDL sources and build a package
from these sources. Download the sources:

    apt-get source libsdl1.2

Then cd to the created directory and apply the patch:

    cd libsdl1.2-1.2.6/
    patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-libsdl1.2-libcaca0.1.diff

Then build the package:

    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

You will probably need to install dpkg-dev, fakeroot, and a few other
packages in the SDL build-dependencies (see debian/control in the SDL
source tree).

   When I have time I will build packages for woody and sid.
