what exactly do you exactly consider as a bug (libsdl should be a dependency of libavifile?)
EITHER libavifile-0.7-dev should depend on libdts-dev, libsdl1.2-dev & liba52-*-dev OR libavifile should provide files that do not claim to need one of the above libraries ("avifile-config --libs" tells the linker to link against libdts; /usr/lib/libaviplay.la lists liba52.la and libSDL.la as linking dependencies)
in reality, you would not need libSDL-dev and liba52-dev and libdts-dev to link a binary against libaviplay. it's only the helpers (pkgconfig, libtool) that are convinced that these libs are needed, and will refuse to link. however, it's the idea of these helpers to allow correct linking. so either the helpers have to be fixed or their dependencies fullfilled.
