Yes, it's a drop-in replacement, and users can decide whether they want
to use jack1 or jack2. They also keep the command line syntax in sync.

I still wonder how this bug got triggered. We already had a binNMU for
jackeq, but the poster is using the old one (probably linked against
libjackd-0.100). (the lenny version).

The jackd version in lenny is 0.109, so we must be talking about some
mixed system configuration, that is, a jackd version from
unstable/testing and jackeq from lenny. (Daniel, please clarify)

With jackeq from unstable/testing, there's no bug. With jackd from
lenny, there's no bug.


You also had the compat symlinks for a while:

   http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/jack-audio-connection-kit.git;a=commitdiff;h=a90b2dada36e66e3faf2dcfc769a8ff0967f01a0


Though it's not that hard to re-enable these two lines, I think we made
everything right. I don't think we support mixed lenny/testing
environments, we focus on squeeze. And for squeeze, we're done. ;)

(I see this all the time: Ubuntu-8.04 too old for FFADO, too old for
modern ardour, the new jackd requires celt-0.7.0 which got added to
unstable last week... the whole pro-audio stuff is bleeding edge. It
just doesn't make sense to run lenny with some parts from unstable.)

If you think we should support this scenario, I'd second your proposal
of re-adding the 0.100 compat link.
