Bug#589689: transition to libjack-jackd2-0 breaks many packages

[Pedro R]

Package: jackd2
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

the recent transition to jackd2 causes a mess in my system.
I don't want to downgrade to jackd2. After being forced to use it for a couple
of months, I find it is
much more reliable.

If I try to install jackd2 by hand, it forces me to uninstall jackd1 plus loads
of packages, including
mplayer, aqualung, alsaplayer, gstreamer-plugins, libpurple, pidgin, libxine,
xine-ui, vdr plugins
and many others.

Regards,
Pedro
