That's great, thanks a lot for your efforts.

That's a good thing too.  Btw, have you checked the dependencies?
LilyPond no longer uses

    ec-fonts-mftraced

I think the package

    musixtex-fonts

does not exist and if it does, I cannot imagine any conflicts.  Also,
as LilyPond does not use tex by default

    libkpathsea3
    tetex-bin
    tetex-extra

are not requirement anymore.  They may be useful, and are required
when using the (unsupported) TeX backend.

Thanks!  Yes, that's great.  And don't forget the Ubuntu users.

I always liked to distribute this for users to build their own deb
package [from CVS].  What do you think?
