Thanks. In the meanwhile, I added it.

I’m packaging polyphone (SoundFont editor) from scratch.
We’ll see whether it suffices. It at least implements all needed
functions, and its licence is compatible by Debian standards.

The native interface seems to want them as well.

in the package itself. If you disagree, close it, no complains.

<diogenese> Beware of ritual lest you forget the meaning behind it.
<igli> yeah but it means if you really care about something, don't
ritualise it, or you will lose it. don't fetishise it, don't
obsess. or you'll forget why you love it in the first place.
