Hmm. But then, consider this:
src:musescore builds musescore:any, musescore-common:all and
fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont:all.
The latter was recently split off musescore-common because some
other packages may also make use of it. So, it’s not *strictly*
“only for the benefit of musescore”.
Still, upgrading it at the cost of musescore would suck.
I was thinking of writing “at the cost of any of its r-deps”,
but that’s not generally true either, I think.
Food for thought,
