Bug#1036529: pianobooster: Unnecessarily Depends: on timidity (and, README.Debian out of date)

Package: pianobooster
Version: 1.0.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: maddog at mir.com

Dear Maintainer,

The pianobooster package depends on the timidity package, but it looks like
it has not needed/used timidity since v0.7.2b (Feb 2020).  Changelog.txt:

    v0.7.2b (25 Feb 2020)
    ...
    - Removed the runtime Depends: timidity and no longer recommend jack2.
    ...

README.Debian needs a little updating as well, since pianobooster no longer
requires an external MIDI synth program to play its music.
