It looks like this isn't going to be fixed easily.

They don't want to put libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio as the first dependency of libsdl1.2debian, because Kubuntu and Xubuntu don't use pulseaudio by default, and that would break them. So Ubuntu remains broken instead.

Also,
 * libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio is in universe
 * libsdl1.2debian-alsa is in main
 * libsdl1.2debian-alsa is part of the ubuntu-desktop task

Furthermore, on the live CD, gimp was the only package that depended on libsdl1.2debian. Now that gimp is out, maybe libsdl will also be removed.

So for this bug to be fixed, libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio should go into main, and it should be put in ubuntu-desktop's task-packages. I'm not too optimistic about this... :-(
