You're correct. When I looked yesterday I had jackd and jackd2. Today I
have jackd and jackdbus instead.

No wonder people get confused about how to get this stuff working.

What possible reason is there to have jackd and jackd2 *or* jackd and
jackdbus ?

The former must be for jack1 package and the later for the jack2 package
but why would there even be a jackd2 option for the jack1 package? It's
completely redundant.

And why isn't a jackd2 option installed with the jack2 package?
