Any way of finding out about weather that's the case before I tear my 
system apart?

Should/could I keep my original jack installation? Could I install in 
parallel and just use the compiled version?

The following packages will be REMOVED:
   jackd qjackctl supercollider supercollider-emacs supercollider-gedit
   supercollider-server

If I remove jack it seems I need to compile supercollider by hand. Would 
  the old binary from-repo supercollider work with a compiled-by-hand 
jack? In general can anything be said about if software from the repo 
(expecting the jackd from the repos) would work with my compiled-by-hand 
jack?
