Comment (by RJVB):

 Replying to [comment:5 mojca]:

 I don't have time right now but will check out your proposal later.

 > it would be right to give some credit to Debian for making all the
 support files).

 Yes, that's why I installed a few of their files too (IIRC).

 > * GS `fluidr3_gs.cfg` doesn't even provide support for accordion

 No, this file can be used in addition to the gm .cfg file; it provides
 Roland patches.

 > * `cfg` files use a mixture of LF & CRLF (may we depend on dos2unix for
 installation dependency?)

 Not when you create them via the patchfile.

 I don't think you ought to be concerned with "people would get temptation
 to modify them". They might, but it will rather be the installed version,
 while others might think twice before they start hacking in patchfiles.

 > I noticed that Debian probably puts the files to `etc/timidity`. I'm not
 sure what's better, but when I think about it, `etc` does make sense.

 I don't recall patching timidity to use a location other than
 $prefix/share/timidity, so I guess it's Debian who patch timidity to look
 in under etc. I can imagine putting timidity.cfg under etc, but the other
 files seem better under share/something.

 > I have no clue how to inspect sound fonts. And anyway there is no GM and
 the licence is different and ...

 Size could be a good clue here.
