That's not the case. Musix kernels are packaged by Tapani Raikkonen
which by the way is doing a great job, Musix is delivered with the
most recent kernels suitable to be patched for realtime work.

I agree with that. A system suitable for those who enjoy multimedia
just for fun is very different than a system for those who use a
system for multimedia creation. Indeed almost nobody really needs
jackd to be installed unless she pretends to use ardour, zynaddsubfx
or similar soft. So I think it's ok that Debian doesn't focus on
multimedia creation given there are more suitable distros adapted from
the Debian main one.
Cordially, Ismael
