Package: fluidsynth
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
X-Debbugs-Cc: dusthillresident@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I installed rosegarden, lmms, and the fluidsynth package. (I'm not sure which of these did it but presumably it's fluidsynth.)

Upon reboot, I noticed a fluidsynth process was running in the background and pulseaudio reported my audio device is "Dummy output", apparently because fluidsynth is starting before pulseaudio and claiming full control over the sound device.

So I ran this command as root:
 systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
expecting to find the name of the fluidsynth service in the list, so I could disable it.
It does not appear in the list at all.
So, looking further, I tried this command as root:
 systemctl | grep fluid
No mention of fluidsynth appears. But somehow it's starting itself at boot. And I have no obvious way of disabling it. 

I would say that this is pretty serious because it starts itself, you have no reasonable way of knowing how to stop it, and it takes full control of your audio device so you can't play any audio from any other apps.
