Good.

OKay,

I agree that generating timidity++.cfg on the fly isn't pretty. An alternative
would be to add virtual provides: soundfont2 to all soundfont packages. But make
timidity++ explicitly Requires PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont, and point to that in
timidity++.cfg.

Advantages:
-no ugly kludges to generate /etc/timidity++.cfg
-a reasonable default, if we trust on virtual provides only, then the default
 will become the shortest package
Downsides:
-people who want to use another soundfont, must still have
 PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont installed because of the deps, taking up diskspace

I think that given no a days large disks, the downside is survivable and this is
a reasonable compromise. Agreed?
