Ah I found the mail.

Well, from what I see from the package, it seems that the API (and
therefore the ABI) did change (at least in a backwards compatible way),
else you wouldn't have to bump SHLIBS, no? If there was really no ABI
change, we could revert the shlibs file and use packages built against
the new version of jack with the version in lenny. Which would help
quite a lot of package (84 packages in total).

Anyways, I've sent a follow-up mail to debian-release, let's see if and
how they respond.
