Thanks for the clarification. So, if I understand correctly, the reason
for keeping the version in the package name (and in the library install
directory) does not hold anymore, now that jack developers have taken
responsability over possible changes, right?
If so I think we could drop these patches:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/demudi/jack-audio-connection-kit/trunk/debian/patches/02_release-in-libjack-name.patch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/demudi/jack-audio-connection-kit/trunk/debian/patches/04_configure_in_jack_version.patch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
and rename the library packages accordingly, something like libjack0 and
libjack-dev or libjack0-dev.
What do you think?
Ciao,
