Arch Linux

Description:
Since version 2.0.8-7, libibus is included in the dependency array for no documented reason. This dependency adds to the otherwise lean sdl2 a whopping 40mb. As other sdl2 packages seem to function well without the non-optional runtime dependency[1], I would suggest to make the dependency optional or a make-dependency. Personally (and anecdotally) I'm running 2.0.8-6 until now and haven't encountered any issues.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl2-hg/ only sets ibus as a makedep
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl2-ime-support/ sets libibus as a makedep
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl2-nox/ doesn't include libibus in any way (propably because of deactivating x11-support
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl2-rbp-bin/ also doesn't mention libibus or ibus, propably because it's compiled in already.
