Unfortunately, that just reports
p   libjack-jackd2-dev Provides libjack-dev
p   libjack-jackd2-dev Depends  libjack-jackd2-0 (= 1.9.8~dfsg.4+20120529git007c
                                 dc37-4.1)
which doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know.

I played around with why and why-not for a few other packages as well, but
didn't succeed in tracking anything down. (I wasn't aware of these commands, and
I think they may be useful for future reference.)

It seems possible that this might change if I actually go through with the
"remove libjack0 and libjack-dev" dist-upgrade, so that the jackd2 packages are
actually installed (and the jackd1 packages are not) - but so far I haven't done
that, and I'm not sure I'd like to.

side of it.

Every time you let somebody set a limit they start moving it.
