1. Make all jack implementations provide: libjack-dev. This leaves us with unversionable build-depends.

When versioning is needed, the requirement is either a cross-implementation or implementation-specific feature.

For implementation-specific feature the package should build-depend versioned on the specific implementation of JACK.

For cross-implementation feature we should have all implementations provide that new "tag" whenever they mature enough to contain it.

...which I believe leads to my favored approach:

4. Make all jack implementations provide: libjack${tag}-dev.

This is what was done in the past with libjack0.100.0-dev.

We need not change anything now, just use a more meaningful tag than "" next time we want to bump.


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:

Fine to get those cleaned up, but I do not consider it urgent: If only they are cleaned out during _next_ feature bump of JACK.


Xine-lib gets the prize for the weirdest build-dep: libjack-dev (>= 0.116-3) | libjack-dev (<< 0.110).

Yeah, that's a good one :-)
