Because:

1) some of the things on that list declare libjack-jackd2-0 as a 
dependency (probably because they are libraries or programs which are 
linked against the libraries contained in libjack-jackd2-0), so will be 
removed due to having an unfulfilled dependency.

2) some of the things on that list declare things in (1) as 
dependencies, so will be removed due to having unfulfilled dependencies.

3) some of the things on that list may be automatically-installed 
prerequisites for things in (1) and (2) which no longer have any reason 
to be installed if everything in (1) and (2) is being removed, so will 
be removed due to being automatically-installed packages which no longer 
have a reason to be installed.

As a general rule, removing packages whose name begins with 'lib' and 
doesn't end in '-dev' or -doc' should be *expected* to produce this kind 
of result.
