raise severity of usertag drop-versioned-libjack bugs

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Hi,

Our JACK packaging has now contains jackd2 (no longer jackd1).

Upstream has promised a frozen library API[1] equal to that of jackd1 
0.116.2, and both shlibs file and symbols[2] file reflect that.

The library packages no longer provide packwards compatibility with 
libjack0.100.0-dev.  The following packages dependend on that and are 
now broken is unstable:

   audacious-plugins-dev
   dssi-dev
   libarts1-dev
   libecasound2.2-dev

Quite possibly some additional packages build-depend on it too - I 
haven't looked that up.

I noticed that libarts1-dev already have a bugreport (#527404) for this 
issue, with usertag drop-versioned-libjack and user 
pkg-multimedia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org - so I guess other 
packages are similarly tracked.  Severity of these bugs need to be 
raised from its current "minor" to RC level.

Kan someone fluent in usertags (Felipe?) please take care of this?


Kind regards,

  - Jonas


[1] Hopefully the library ABI is frozen too - this is assumed in our 
current packaging but not really promised anywhere.

[2] Symbols file needs cleanup to match official public API: whatever 
symbols existed in recent snapshots of both jackd1 and jackd2 is 
currently marked as part of the stable ABI, symbols only in recent 
jackd1 is marked as optional, and newly appearing symbols are 
automatically marked as "add-ons" (i.e. requires tight dependency).
