VLC is compiled withouth jack support

[Nicolas Joyard]

Binary package hint: vlc

VLC is compiled without jack support, and this prevents all users with say, firewire audio cards, to use it.
I personally recompiled the VLC package with jack support and it's as easy as adding "--enable-jack" to the configure line.
Is there a specific reason why VLC ubuntu package doesn't have Jack support ?

  * debian/control:
    - Add subversion to build dependencies to allow version checking
      during build identification.
    - Add libjack-dev to build dependencies
    - Make sure we depend on libcaca >=0.99.beta13b-2 to prevent a FTBFS.
    - Make sure we depend on libvcdinfo >=0.7.23-4ubuntu1 to prevent a FTBFS.
  * Disable 010_no-wx-updates.diff patch, upstream has disabled update
    checking for now already.
  * Drop 030_fix_exec_field_code.diff patch, because upstream has added
