I really like having both around. If possible, please do not make them
conflict.

My current development habits depend on having both available at the
same time and IMHO it'd be a major regression if that is no longer
possible using the official debian package.

I use jackdbus as main jackd (runs most of the time and automatically
switches backends depending on connected interfaces). I also regularly
use jackd for a 2nd or 3rd instance -- most of the time for debug
purposes e.g. running ardour in valgrind without interfering with the
main jackdbus, but also for multiple indep jack sessions on the same
machine w/ different audio-interfaces.

2c,
