You might like to compare with how other sdl-based games have been
packaged, for instance defendguin (available in woody).
The sdl libraries you mentioned are available in woody:
libsdl-mixer-dev
libsdl-image1.1
etc
You can search for them with "apt-cache search sdl" if /etc/apt/sources.list
points to woody.
Good luck,
Drew
