Hi Thorsten, now that buster has been released (congratulations to everyone!), I think we should move forward with this.
My proposed plan of actions is:
- Announce new virtual package(s) on d-devel
- Upload soundfonts packages prividing the virtual packages and
calling the corresponding u-a invokation
- Patch libraries using soundfonts to fallback to the new default
soundfont path and add dependencies accordingly (fluidsynth,
timidity, anything else?)
Anything that I forgot?
Cheers,
- Fabian
