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.

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?

I hope, when debian switch to jack2, they will
make it in one packet
(maximal a second for the dev files), that's what could make it easer to
switch the version for people how like to switch.
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!
