Yes, that's true.

Yes and no :-) The new version of fluidsynth needs midishare so that it
is being pulled in. But midishare needs the midishare kernel module so
it gets included. And then _it_ need a matching kernel, as usual with
dist-upgrade we cannot really pick the one we want so we get the wrong
one (2.4.20-20.1.caps). 

To solve this:
  apt-get install planetccrma-midishare
This will get the proper midishare for your kernel. 
After that a dist-upgrade should work fine. 

I have no idea why kernel#2.4.20-13.8 got selected...

I did not want to do this but apparently I will have to add
planetccrma-midishare to the dependencies of the planetccrma-core
package so the right one gets selected and installed (as is the case
with alsa).
