As far as I understand, a virtual package acts as a placeholder for dependencies whereby the user can substitute any package marked as meeting that dependency, for an example look at the www-browser package. In terms of musescore, I presume we want to say "musescore depends on having at least one compatible soundfont installed". Thus it feels like we should make musescore-soundfont-gm a virtual package as many soundfonts fill that role, and keep it as a dependency. That said, as you say musescore2 already contains a bundled soundfont, thus it doesn't at the moment require a soundfont as a dependency. If in the future you decide to package the bundled soundfont separately then I think we need to make this package virtual for the reasons stated above. Until then you should make musescore-soundfont-gm a suggested package of musescore instead of a dependency.
