Should libjack-jackd2-dev provide libjack-dev?

Yeah, that's a problem. I added libjack-dev | libjack-jackd2-dev to some
build-deps, but that's nothing more than a crude hack.

We somehow want some magic so (a virtual) libjack-dev always means
jackd1 on the buildds but can be everything else if needed.

Sounds like the very same approach we took with the jackd-defaults
package, perhaps augmented: libjack-dev is virtual, depending on
libjack-jackd1-dev | libjack-jackd2-dev.

The big question now is: if we do so, when should we try this? Before
squeeze? We'd need three new uploads...
