I think it's not too hard to revive the jackd1 package, so we can at
least provide jackd1 and jackd2 in squeeze.

Given the tons of C++ symbols in jackd2, I'd also suggest to make the
jackd1 package the official dev package and also the "donator" of the
symbols file.

If possible, we should file a bug report against release.debian.org to
coordinate the transition, but I'm not debian-experienced enough to take
the lead.
