Basically if something depends on the old version of jack, then
yes the best method would be to make a new package that depends
on the up to date version, or alternatively wait for the
packagers to sort it out.

One last option is just to install the program as a non-debian
package. I do this quite a lot because it is much quicker than
debianizing everything, but it is not the recommended approach,
and it leads to breakages if you install a debian version of a
package you installed from source.

Best,

James
