I don't think that moving fluidsynth to contrib and therefore removing part of the tools to make soundfonts would help the cause. The freepats as distributed in Debian are not compatible with fluidsynth, so what remains to be done is to package the soundfonts from the freepats site and clear their licenses (which I fear is not that easy). > Do any of the other TC members disagree?
