On Debian/Ubuntu applications such as Ardour have a dependency to the
the package "jackd" and the package "jackd" requires to install the
package "jackd1" or "jackd2". "jackd1" is older than "jackd2", so it's
nothing new.

Here is an overview of the differences between jack1 and jack2:

It's important to read the follow-ups to avoid misunderstandings,
especially about the future of jack1.

One reason why I'm using jack2:

However, regarding this issue I likely likely could use jack1 too:
