Easier than using ./edit-deb-control.sh, you can do a 'dpkg -i --force-
depends liblinuxsampler_0.5.1-1_i386.deb'

About the licensing issues: obviously software under the 'GPL 2.0 +
"commercial exception"' is incompatible with the GPL (but not the LGPL).
They seem to claim that since linuxsampler depends only on libgig, and
as libgig is their own code, they can distribute linuxsampler linked to
libgig.

If indeed linuxsampler only links to LGPL libraries and libgig, afaics
the only thing we'd need to be able to distribute linuxsampler in
multiverse is a version of libgig under the 'GPL 2.0 + "commercial
exception"' license. I'd expect that shouldn't be a problem if we ask
nicely. Am I missing something here?
