This is due to an issue in the build system which means that packages in main (ie, alsa-plugins) cannot build-depend on packages in universe (ie, jack). <snip> > > the jack-module won't be included in the default libasound2-plugins > package because someone wants to install it by default, but does not > want to have libjack in by default.

This is a great idea, but subject to the caveat I described above, the only solution would be to have two copies of the alsa-plugins source in Ubuntu - one in main, and providing most plug-ins, and the other in universe, providing only those that require universe build-dependencies (ie, jack). This is not really desirable, but if you wish to pursue it, the place to do that would be ubuntu-devel-discuss. I've forwarded this e-mail to Launchpad bug 197957.
