for myself, i think its reasonable accurate to say that ALSA's
identification of MIDI ports is totally FUBAR'ed. this doesn't help

i'm not quite sure what you mean about ardour (2's) behaviour, but its
not on my mind much at this point since ardour3 doesn't use ALSA MIDI
for anything at all, and will not do so again.
Alsa sequencer names aren't unique or
intended for use as identifiers,
you probably don't want to do this if it's at all possible to avoid...
If that's true, what purpose do they have at all ?
In this concrete case, I have Python class which acts as
an interface to the Novation Launchpad. I want its ports
to connect to the launchpad, as any other connection
wouldn't make any sense at all. I know the names of
the required ports, but not the numbers.
