The only other package depending on chowtapemodel.lv2-git is a meta
package, which can easily be adapted.

Upstream [1] is a cross-plugin-type project and the maintainer of
chowtapemodel.lv2-git has not been building (and refused to build) the
other plugin types for ideological/political reasons.

Building all plugin types in a split package is the only sane way to
deal with this package, which chowtapemodel-git already provides (even
though it is newer).
This has been communicated in #archlinux-proaudio and I see no reason as
to why to have chowtapemodel.lv2-git still be around. It has been
clearly communicated with the author of chowtapemodel-git to add further
maintainers (e.g. that of chowtapemodel.lv2-git) if they show interest.

Going through the hassle of merging the packages is more work than is
warranted given this situation IMHO.

Best,
David
