Comment (by RJVB):
I'm fine with a separate port for the complete GeneralUser soundfont. I'd
publish them both at the same time though. YMMV, but I find it gives much
better sound quality in general than the soundfonts Debian provides.
I also forgot most of the details of what I did already :-/ but I had a
look at my own TiMidity port. I cannot see any patch or configuration
option to have it expect its config file under ${prefix}/share/timidity so
for now I *presume* that's the default. We'll take that bridge when we get
to it.

Yes. The only suggestion I have would have (which would speak for
publishing both ports at once) is to integrate with the `port select`
mechanism. I see that I have a symlink `000Default.sf2` in my soundfont
directory which allows applications that use alphanumeric sorting of a
selection of soundfont files to pick up a specific one as the preferred
soundfont.
Of course we can also do that later, when the exact need for this kind of
thing becomes clear.
