I could add a list of broken packages for [censorship to avoid a flame

war]. That's why I guess every Linux audio user running a distro that

isn't a pure audio distro and sometimes even for pure audio distros

needs to compile apps depending to the JACK headers.

We only need one package for each JACK named jackx-audio-connection-kit

and at best a second one called jackx-audio-connection-kit-dev, x is for

1, 2, 3, dbus or what ever, for the dependencies there should be added

that JACK1 conflicts with JACK2 etc., thus the averaged user is able to

choose the version of JACK he wishes to have.
