I'm sorry but I have to bother you again with the versioning issue of
the jack package.
Here below is a copy of the reply I sent to Paul Davis on the Jack
mailing list. It seems that this issue is making life harder for
people wanting to compile and run bleeding-edge versions of jack.
Is there some kind of compromise we could reach?

Thanks for your hints. I was not involved in the jack Debian
packaging, but I'm in contact with the actual Debian maintainers, and
I'll talk with them about this issue.
