I just started trying these and getting rosegarden working is
surprisingly difficult in my case. I'd even compare the difficulty to
Apache configuration with ssl + authenticate against openldap database
for a newbie who just managed to understand & configure vsftpd. There
are a lot of cases that this works, that doesn't etc and strange
behavior.

As of dependency, reading documents (especially this one:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Manuals/Rosegarden/Setup)
you can see rosegarden expects professional users, and assume you have
hardware midi device. This is IMHO basically a wrong approch because new
user has to manage to get it work before deciding going professional and
buy hardware devices, whlie there is no second Linux free software with
similiar function but orient beginner so they had to begin with
professional software. But, if you make rosegarden depends on timidity
it might make professional users who hate to have timidity running
pissed off.

Personally I don't mind piss off some "professional users" and sometimes
I would love to do so when they cannot think user-oriented. I'd vote a
"yes" on this but still want to share above information with you.
