it seems sad to leave something as basic as jackd support in the realm of "go compile it yourself" as this isn't an option for many circumstances (eg a small machine being used for music editing) and especially when the fix appears to be easy to do ... except for political reasons. A binary install package in Universe would do the trick nicely, or a libjack-based solution in the main that may install but will not be useful without jackd. Certainly we already have apps which /can/ use jackd that are in the main don't we?
