there must be some way in debian to say, "don't worry about the jackd

Can't you just build a .deb of the new jackd?
This issue has me stuck right now too. I need jack 103 and also I
want to try jackdmp again too.
The debian packages for jack 101 and jack 102 are really weird.
Either they weren't done correctly, or my debian knowlege is not
up-to-date with the latest hip and happenin' tools.
I have successfully built, backported, and/or upgraded packages for
several audio apps for Etch
(http://www.restivo.org/projects/debian/various-etch-audio-backports/).
But jackd has not given me any success and tomorrow I think I'll have
to focus on it and try to get it working. It's "in my critical path"
since jack 102 and freebob 1.0.3 are inoperative on my Core 2 Duo.
If the version you want is already in testing or unstable but didn't
make it into Etch, it's pretty simple. Just get the original source,
diff file, an dsc file by going to http://pacakges.debian.org, then:
dpkg-source -x $the_dsc_file
cd $source_subdir
debuild -uc -us
Updating packages to a version that isn't yet in debian (not even
unstable), is really easy. I did this with freebob.
wget $orignal_source_for_version_not_yet_in_debian
apt-get source $old_package
cd $source_subdir
uupdate ../$orignal_source_for_version_not_yet_in_debian
cd ../$new_source_dir (uupdate will tell you its name)
debuild -uc -us
Alas, none of the above have worked for JACK. Whatever tool is being
used complains about not being able to apply patches.
Someone already posted the dh_make tricks to add a package that isn't
in debian at all. I find it's a little bit harder than that, but not
much. I may try making a whole new package from scratch for JACK and
jackdmp, and see how that goes.

otherwise, another method that could work is "check install".
i used it to install alsalibs0.1.14rc3
off course 1.0.14rc3.
so that synaptic is happy now:

cheers,

the good thing here is that you apply the patches you self and as
normally run configure and make. only for 'make install' you use the
checkinstall appi.
