Bug#695550: libjack-dev: does not automatically transition to libjack-jackd2-dev

Package: libjack-dev
Version: 1:0.121.3+20120418git75e3e20b-2.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I attempt to dist-upgrade to current testing, apt wants to remove libjack0
and install libjack-jackd2-0. This is fine; the latter explicitly Provides: the
same virtual package as the former, so presumably this is part of an intended
package transition.

As part of the same dist-upgrade, apt wants to remove libjack-dev, but does not
attempt to install libjack-jackd2-dev. This is not fine.

Please modify package dependencies so that a dist-upgrade on a system where
libjack-dev is installed will correctly transition to libjack-jackd2-dev.
Alternately, if this transition would in fact not be correct, please explain to
me what the correct procedure - even if a manual one - would be.

(I suspect that this bug will actually have to be fixed in libjack-jackd2-dev,
but I am reporting it against libjack-dev to make reportbug happy, as that is
the package I currently have installed.)
