Re: Announcing SDL 2.0.5

This is up to the package maintainer, as far as I understand.  However, I
haven't seen any Ubuntu release get an update to SDL during its lifetime.
Ubuntu Yakkety was just released, which has SDL 2.0.4, so expect an
official package in Zesty, 6 months from now.

Until then, you could (depending on your needs) build it yourself and
distribute it with your app with proper rpath.
