Public bug reported:
The freepats package is still incomplete and is missing a lot of
instruments. Furthermore, timidity only requires a patch set or
soundfont in order to run, and the fluid soundfonts are now available in
Ubuntu Universe.
Possible solution:
Timidity should recommend fluid-soundfont-gm or freepats with a
preference for fluid-soundfont-gm, since it is complete. It should also
suggest fluid-soundfont-gs as an extension. This way, if someone wishes
to use a different soundfont that is not packaged for Ubuntu, only
timidity itself can be installed so that a large package such as
freepats or fluid-soundfont-gm doesn't need to be installed unless it is
wanted. Also, the timidity.cfg file should be configured to use the
fluid gm soundfont with the configurations for freepats and the fluid gs
soundfont commented out so the user can uncomment whichever one is
needed.
