Arnold, I don't have much money. 1. A hard disk isn't expensive. 2.
For e.g. 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 amd64 libjack0.100.0-dev does need 61.4
kb and not gigs. I'm just talking about JACK. 3. Who does use Linux
audio and doesn't need libjack-dev? 4. Who does produce music on a
20GB hard disk? C'mon ;)!
IMHO it would be good once and for all to clear all issues because of
packages for JACK and IMHO the best way seems to be to have
everything that is JACK in one package.

Full ACK, OTOH let's put our hands on our hearts ... Who is using
Linux
audio and doesn't compile one or two things depending to JACK ;)? I
vote
for one package for all!
Hopefully they will think again before following this.
Why should all users get the files on their disks that are needed
only for debugging and developing?
Disk-space might not be an issue with your
state-of-the-art-all-inclusive machine, but not everyone has such a
thing. Some have older machines still running with <20GB disk, some
have netbooks with only small (but fast!) solid state disks.
Now why again should they install gigs of headers and
debugging-symbols when they just need the libs and apps to run jack
and assorted?
