Hi, I am packaging DrumGizmo[1], a drum audio sampler that simulates a real drum kit. It does that by mixing and playing a recording of the different parts of a drum kit (snare, hi-hat, etc) with some clever processing: velocities, mic bleeding, etc (as privative solutions such as BFD3 do). For that package to work, one needs to download the drum kits recordings, which amount at ~2GBs per kit. One can find some of these drum kits made by the community here[2], for example. They are licensed (eg, Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported), and in good shape to be packaged. Does it make sense to package them, or should be refrain of adding such big packages from being in Debian? It's good to note that maybe these drum kit packages could be reused by more software apart of DrumGizmo. For example, A person has shared in #debian-mentors that he could use those packages with Beast[3].
