You presume incorrectly. There are no realtime kernels in the main
Debian repositories, and a patched kernel would have the version suffix
-rtX. I don't know when jackd was changed to refuse to start with -R
unless it could actually get realtime scheduling, but it was fairly
recent - if you're using 0.101.1 it will probably start anyway.
