Good to hear.  Congratulations on the first debian build of 0.14.x!
A single warning is as good as one can hope for on the first build on
another distro.  This particular warning is a nothing to worry about.
In this case, an identical binary is produced after applying the fix
(which is now in the dev tree).

I just wanted to make sure that it doesn't blow up on distros outside
the RedHat/Fedora/CentOS world first.  Moving from Fedora 17 to Fedora 18
actually posed a bigger challenge than expected:  A 16 hour debugging
session to find that a segfault a few function calls deep inside
jack_client_open() was being caused by the global variable 'int shutdown'
overshadowing the system call shutdown() in the linker's symbol table.

I'm glad to see that everything builds properly on debian.
