Hello,

the reason for this is that if there is not at least one soundfont package 
automatically installed, bugs like "timidity doesn't work" keep popping up. 
Also it is the same approach as used in ubuntu, giving users less surprise.

$ apt-cache show fluid-soundfont-gm | grep Size
Installed-Size: 145368
Size: 118557552
$ apt-cache show freepats | grep Size
Installed-Size: 33224
Size: 28968538

I could consider moving the depends to fluid-soundfont-gm, however it is a lot 
bigger.

If you have other ideas how to approach, I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks, Joost Damad
