When versioning is needed, the requirement is either a 
cross-implementation or implementation-specific feature.

For implementation-specific feature the package should build-depend 
versioned on the specific implementation of JACK.

For cross-implementation feature we should have all implementations 
provide that new "tag" whenever they mature enough to contain it.

...which I believe leads to my favored approach:

4. Make all jack implementations provide: libjack${tag}-dev.

This is what was done in the past with libjack0.100.0-dev.

We need not change anything now, just use a more meaningful tag than "" 
next time we want to bump.
