They depend on the libjackd libraries, indirectly. There's a possible use-case
where you have fluidsynth on one computer but the jackd process on another (I
think), in which case you may not need/want jackd installed in the same place
as fluidsynth. I suspect this is a very rare use-case. Perhaps libfluidsynth1
or another package should Recmmends: jackd at the very least.
