Yeah, I noticed that also in your launchpad bugreport. Update-alternatives 
could be used, it makes it more clear that they are alternatives, because if 
you install freepats and fluid, only one will be used by the system timidity 
daemon anyway...

Subject: [Bug 196135] Re: Timidity shouldn't depend on freepats


And why don't use "update-alternatives" methood.
So /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg may be just a link pointing to
/etc/alternatives/timidity.cfg.

And then user will be free to choice by doing:
sudo update-alternatives --config timidity.cfg

I think it's more Debian/Ubuntu standard, and it's used for a lot of
packages with successfull results..
And it will more easy for new users than manually edit links or configure 
files.
