>I think this makes most sense. (although it does require renaming libjack-dev to libjack-jackd1-dev and making it Provide: libjack-dev). Note though that there are still a few packages with a versioned build-dependency, although all of them (except xine-lib) require a version already present in lenny: Paul Brossier <p...@debian.org> jackbeat (U) Debian Multimedia Maintainers <pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> calf Adrian Knoth <a...@drcomp.erfurt.thur.de> calf (U) Eugene V.
