Re: [Jack-Devel] [PATCH] Jack-1: jack_port_by_name

What exactly is wrong with Debian's library path? I see a couple of
problems with this wording:

   * "currently" - this message is going to stay, so will be outdated. It
     doesn't even say what "currently" means.

   * "may incorrectly set" - well, is it wrong or not?

   * "some distros" - too vague

Since I'm said packager: tell me what's wrong.

If you go this route, maybe add "Promise not to ask for help if things
break."

I'll leave the rest of your patch to Paul, since I haven't worked on
jackd for a year now.
