It doesn't matter.  The only thing that matters is that no usable sample
bank is available in main.  Therefore, fluidsynth needs stuff from
uitside main (be it non-free, my soundblaster cd, or the internet) to
function, and therefore belongs in contrib.

Surely it is.  Fluidsynth is non-functional without the sample bank.

I most certainly do not agree.
