I disagree that it's a bad idea. The whole point is that
other packages that depend on the distro's jack packages
still think those are installed. The only thing to watch for
is if you update the distro jack packages it will overwrite
the compiled version, so you'll have to re-install that.

I've been using this method for many years without problems.
