Well, basically the problem is that if someone wishes to install timidity and use a different set of patches or a soundfont, freepats must still be installed. Even a recommend for freepats would be better than a dependency, since timidity could be installed without it and fluid could be used with minor modifications to the config file by the user. The main problem is that freepats is just too incomplete, so most people are probably going to use something more complete, which is why the option to install without freepats is necessary. Further modifications to the config file or a recommend for fluid instead of freepats could be done at a later time, but I thought that since there is now an alternative that is complete, that it should be recommended and there should be no dependency on an incomplete set of patches.
