It works (on the library level), but the packages need to depend on the
newly introduced virtual package libjack-0.116 which is provided by
either libjack0 or libjack-jackd2-0. 

(to be precise, they'll depend on (libjack-jackd2-0 | libjack-0.116),
and that's what the binNMUs are for)


For more information, see the rather lengthy

and the even longer discussion on the pkg-multimedia-maintainer mailing
list. (trust me, you don't want to read this, it took us some 200 mails
or more to agree on the right strategy. We now believe we got it right
;) )
