It installs and works ok, but building the package gives these warnings:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libpthread.so.0 could be avoided 
if "debian/fluidsynth/usr/bin/fluidsynth" were not uselessly linked 
against it (they use none of its symbols).

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libncurses.so.5 could be avoided 
if "debian/libfluidsynth1/usr/lib/libfluidsynth.so.1.1.3" were not 
uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on librt.so.1 could be avoided if 
"debian/libfluidsynth1/usr/lib/libfluidsynth.so.1.1.3" were not 
uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

You should fix these for Debian and fix them upstream too for future 
releases.

I can't install the -dev package since it depends on libjack0.100.0-dev, 
this is a dummy transitional package, you should depend on libjack-dev 
instead.

Now that we're at it, QSynth is orphaned, aren't you interested on 
maintaining it too? ;)

Cheers.
