Hi James,

Many thanks for these changes!

They all look good to me, except for the patch to exclude Freetype
which upstream will not be too happy about. Upstream includes Freetype
intentionally to ensure that font rendering is consistent across
operating systems. Prior to 2.0.3 MuseScore relied on the system's
Freetype but this gave results that were inconsistent across different
systems and fixing kerning issues on one platform would break it on
another. Of course, if excluding Freetype is an *absolute requirement*
for inclusion in Debian then MuseScore will of course comply, but I
know that upstream would *much prefer* to include their own Freetype.
See https://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/release-notes/release-notes-musescore-2.0.3#known-incompatibilities

The other patches will all be welcome upstream. (OpenSSL is only
needed for the Windows build.)

Best wishes,
Peter
