mscore for Debian
*****************

  Currently, this package does not build the documentation as there is a 
  bug in the build process for that task. This should be fixed in future 
  versions.

  Does anybody know of any free SoundFonts that can be used to enable 
  out-of-box synthesis? (Yays and brownie points for ease-of-use!)

  This package also installs a .desktop file, and the icon 
  mscore/mscore/data/mscore.png.

  usr/share/mscore is versioned (ie usr/share/mscore-0.7), as upstream 
  said he wants to make it possible for other users, not necessarily 
  ours, to install more than one version concurrently for testing. Some 
  files there are version specific, so he versions /usr/share/mscore.

  debian/rules does not employ dh_install to install the update-notifier 
  file, as it is not known at build time what version of 
  usr/share/mscore is being used. The installation of this file waits 
  for the directory to be created in mscore-common (by dh_install), and 
  a symlink to reference it. The update-notifier file is installed to that
  symlinked directory, but a means other than dh_install must be used, 
  as dh_install has already been called, and it does not support 
  multiple calls. This means that on upgrading the packaging for a 
  new release does not necessarily involve changing version numbers in 
  debian/rules.
