Comment (by RJVB):

 Actually, ports depending on qt5 have a -qt5 suffix. That was the
 consensus a while back (in part because the qtN- prefix was already used
 to distinguish Qt *providing* ports), and I've been adhering to that. That
 would be an additional argument to put the soundfont first: these are
 ports providing soundfonts, not ports that depend on (or provide something
 for) a specific soundfont. Then again the rest of the world refers to the
 Fluid soundfonts, or the GeneralUser soundfont, so it would only be
 logical that the port names reflect the natural (English)language.

 Why would it not be OK to rename a font file, if it's basically just
 wrapping it to all lower case and removing spaces?

 Is checking an archlinux site for new version availability an ugly
 workaround? Seems less ugly to me than getting everything from a
 comparable site (debian's) ;)
