On ubuntu (which normally uses debian src packages), The module name is
module-jackdbus-detect. I don't think I have seen a module called
module-jackdbus-connect even on the pulse site.

Even if jackd comes with dbus support, it can be started without. so use
ps x or similar to check that the running app is jackdbus and not jackd.
If you are using qjackctl there is a checkbox under misc "Enable D-Bus
interface" that has to be checked.
