It doesn't conflict with the C++ transition at all. Those packages that
are C++ have to do both transitions at once, those that do not, should
fix it now.
Acutally, for the C++ packages that use jack, the jack transition is
even less painfull during a C++ transition than before or after it since
the packages are uninstallable anyway because of the C++ transition ;-]
There was the suggestion to leave the old library. But that doesn't work
because of jackd.
Having uninstallable packages is one of the attributes of unstable.
