No, it was fluidsynth which now has a dependency to midishare (because
it is linked with the midishare library).

Yes, I agree. Apt for rpm is not really made for this, I had to work
around some of its limitations. 

I think I just fixed this in "a reasonable way". I have just released
new versions of the planetccrma-core* packages with an added dependency
to the midishare-kernel* packages. I hope this will fix things. If
somebody has installed a planetcore* package the "right" midishare
kernel module package will get pulled in, any update that downloads
fluidsynth will require midishare itself. Most probably the
planetccrma-midishare packages I built on Friday are obsoleted by all
this but it is not worth (yet) deprecating them.
