But the files distributed in CVS should ba up-to-date as well ;-]

No. It's not a problem for Debian.

Yes. We could upload that package to experimental. But we would have to
reversion it because of 0.195 > 0.96. BTW: Be warned: If you install the
packages with version 0.195, you will have to force a "downgrade"
(version-wise), afterwards if you want to go back to 0.94 or upgrade to 0.96.

I don't know of hand. You can browse some build-logs on
buildd.debian.org and see what happens with other packages.

I will try today or tomorrow.
Another thing. If we could agree on another version that passes the
test, I would upload JACK to experimental and let a wider audience test
and maybe build it on other architectures.
Something like this would be fine:
dpkg --compare-versions 0.95exp.16 '>>' 0.94.0 && echo true
true
