What about:
- create a compat-portmidi0 package and move current portmidi there
(bonus: mark it as deprecated)
- change frescobaldi to require the compat package until a fix is available
- update current portmidi package to v2
BTW, this is not the first time such a discussion arise and I think
FESCo / Packaging Guidelines must provide a definitive answer for this.
