For my own edification, could you please explain how I would create a sound
font in swami? I could only find options to import existing sound fonts.

And freepats is also packaged, so if it's compatible, I see no reason why
fluidsynth should be regarded as inappropriate for main (or even buggy, if
it can also be used with swami to create new fonts).
Do any of the other TC members disagree? If not, I'll draft a quick
resolution upholding the maintainer's decision and then we can get back to
arguing about ndiswrapper :-)
