Package: jackd2
Version: 1.9.8~dfsg.3+20120418gitf82ec715-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

While previous versions of jackdmp with dbus support merely printed an
error when unable to connect to X, this one will actually fail to start
as discussed here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.jackit/25430

This makes it impossible to use the current debian package of jackd2 on
any system which doesn't have X installe or is not currently running it
and requires rebuilding the package without the --dbus configure flag. 

As I see it, the only way to solve this problem is either revert back to
the old behaviour or have two packages for jackd2, one with dbus support
and one without.
