Kiss svgalib goodbye?

There are only two packages in main which require svgalib: SDL and GGI. I
have uploads prepared which would remove svgalib support from both, and
allow svgalib to pass into universe.
There are much better solutions than svgalib available on modern systems
(X and framebuffer), and svgalib applications must be setuid root, which
frequently introduces security vulnerabilities.
Any objections to uploading these packages and demoting svgalib to universe?
