** Description changed: [Impact] Qtractor is in a pre-1.0 release state in Noble. In Oracular and Plucky, Qtractor is beyond that. This package has been requested to be updated. However, per the upstream changelogs, this package has several new features along with bugfixes, therefore an SRU is not justified, and a wholesale backport is required.
