because xine is in main and must not depend on the libjack-dev. this
means that the jack plugin cannot be build from source.

Because every change to the xine-lib source would need to be replicated
to the source copy in universe. We avoid source copies in ubuntu.

What you could try is to fork xine to only build the jack plugin and
nothing else....
