The packages jack-example-tools and jackd1 cannot normally be
coinstalled as they require incompatible versions of jack. However, they
can still be concurrently unpacked.

    mmdebstrap --verbose --variant=apt '' /dev/null 'deb 
http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main' --include=jackd1 
--chrooted-customize-hook='apt-get download jack-example-tools && dpkg 
--auto-deconfigure --unpack *.deb'

This results in an error.

    Selecting previously unselected package jack-example-tools.
    (Reading database ... 4030 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to unpack jack-example-tools_4-2_amd64.deb ...

    dpkg: error processing archive jack-example-tools_4-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
     trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/jack_simple_client.1.gz', which 
is also in package jackd1 (1:0.126.0-2+b3)
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     jack-example-tools_4-2_amd64.deb

Given that these provide overlapping functionality, I guess a Conflicts
relation would be appropriate here. I expect that jack1 is more likely
to be removed at some point and therefore recommend that it is jackd1
who carries the relation despite jack-example-tools having arrived
later.
