Bug#697031: swami: default output mechanism is jackd, which is not depended on

Package: swami
Version: 2.0.0+svn389-1
Severity: normal

swami appears to default to output via jackd:

libswami-Message: Loading plugins from /usr/lib/swami
libswami-Message: Loaded 4 plugins
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
exec of JACK server (command = "/usr/bin/jackd") failed: No such file or directory

but it does not depend on, or even recommend, jackd. The closest it gets
is this chain:

swami Depends libfluidsynth1 Depends libjack-jackd2-0 Suggests jackd2

or if you take the non-default branch of an alternative dependency,

swami Depends libfluidsynth1 Depends libjack0 Suggests jackd1

Either way, it's only suggested, and only indirectly; that doesn't seem
ideal. (If you think this is more of a libfluidsynth1 or libjack* bug,
feel free to reassign it - I encountered it when testing swami for #697026.)
