Just including jackstart seems very sensible. The Debian package
includes jackstart and has instructions on how to patch the kernel for
capabilities.  But if a user is running a stock kernel, jackstart will not work, and one is forced to use jackd. This is absoluetly okay, IMO.

The alternative would be to build a kernel-image, on that jackstart
depends, which just will not work out in the end. It's better to just
leave that in the users' responsibiliy.

ciao
