Package: libjack0.100.0-0
Version: 0.100.0-4
Severity: normal

Could you please explain the rationale behind above patch?
By default, jack uses ${libdir}/jack as directory for searching
for plugins (and in-process client modules).  The patch mentioned above
changes this relatively simple dirname to a dir with the jack client
lib version number in it.  However, there is no obvious way
to figure out whats the correct dir to use for addon packages.

So, how would a in-process client module know where
it has to go on a Debian system?  On systems running jackd from
source, they simply go into /usr/lib/jack, which is relatively
easy to figure out in configure scripts.

I suggest we either drop the above patch, and use
the same ADDON_DIR as other jackd installations, or
we offer some way for addon packages to query this
directory name.
