Bug#766019: libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 still Recommends: freepats

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0
Version: 2.0.0+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal

Hi there,

I was a bit shocked to see that the SDL2-Mixer package in Debian still
pulls in the huge, low-quality freepats sound fonts package. I mean,
haven't we got over this for SDL1.2-Mixer in #715461 by making sure the
fluidsynth backend works with the Debian-packaged sf2 sound fonts out of
the box? The patch discussed there (which is applied to the
libsdl-mixer1.2 package) does not apply cleanly to SDL2-Mixer, but in
principle the required changes would be similar. And, please, make
sure to get this included upstream as well. ;)

Cheers,

Fabian
