libasound2-plugins has broken jack1 dependencies

[Leigh Dyer]

The "libasound2-plugins" package includes a JACK plugin, which allows the user to route audio to and from JACK in applications that use the ALSA API. This plugin works with either the JACK 1 daemon (which uses the "libjack0" package as its client library) or the JACK 2 daemon (which uses "libjack-jackd2-0"). However, the dependencies are only satisfied by JACK 2.

The depends line for libasound2-plugins is as follows:

Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.25), libc6 (>= 2.15), libjack-jackd2-0 (>= 1.9.5~dfsg-14) | libjack-0.116, libpulse0 (>= 1:0.99.1), libsamplerate0 (>= 0.1.7), libspeexdsp1 (>= 1.2~beta3.2-1)

but there is no libjack-0.116 to satisfy this dependency. This package should depend on either libjack-jackd2-0 or libjack0.

Incidentally, the ia32-libs-multiarch package depends on this package for some reason. These ALSA plugins are entirely optional, and would not be required for most users, so I don't think there's any need to have ia32-libs-multiarch depend on them.

Due to the pulse plugin, I would prefer to have it stay in ia32-libs-multiarch (but isn't ia32-libs-* deprecated anyway, so does it matter?)

I can confirm the main problem though.
