The attached patch/hack fixes this. It iterates over both given sound
font files and uses the last one it finds. That is, if both are present,
the latter overrides the former (in this case, the bigger FluidR3_GM.sf2
overrides the smaller TimGM6mb.sf2). If none is present, it gracefully
falls back to its own internal timidity sound renderer and freepats.

The correct package relationship with this patch is thus:

Recommends: musescore-soundfont-gm, fluid-soundfont-gm, freepats

Hope that helps!
