Bug#795316: jackd2: Suggestion to fix overly-liberal shlibs for libjacknet

Package: jackd2
Version: 1.9.10+20140719git3eb0ae6a~dfsg-3

Dear maintainer,

I know you've only just fixed the shlibs file to correct jackd2's FTBFS
failure, but I'd like to recommend a change to the shlibs handling.  As part
of preparing the g++5 ABI transition in Ubuntu, it came to light that:

 - libjacknet is a private library, and
 - its ABI is impacted by the g++5 ABI transition

So while the current shlibs fix the build failure, in the unlikely event
that something *did* link against libjacknet (unlikely because it's a
private library with no headers in the -dev package), that package would
have a wrong dependency, which would be satisfied by other versions of the
package with known-incompatible ABI.

The attached patch would generate more correct shlibs for the library in
question.  However, it seems to me that since this is a private library
anyway, a more correct solution might be to install it in the jackd2 binary
package instead of the library runtime package.

Thanks for considering the patch.
