Why wouldn't the start-session.sh work?
One just need jconvolver, tetraproc, zita-rev1, jkmeter (all of which
are in debian these days) and of course ardour2 with jackd already
running (jack_lsp, jack_connect come with jackd).

Note: The default number of JACK-ports (256) is not enough to load these
sessions. Increase the max number of JACK ports to at least 1024
(qjackctl setup "Port Maximum" ; or jackd's '-p' option).

They are amazing sessions! Outstanding work on all accounts. Cheesy
music, hell yeah, but very well done.
BTW, This was the first ardour-session that I've seen with nicely
written comments on _every_ track/bus. Don't miss those - bottom of
ardour's mixer-strip.

@JACK-devs: please load these sessions and experience first hand that
port-creation/connection is waaaay too slow. For example loading the MFV
session ~ 500 JACK ports with jackdmp/dbus 1.9.8 takes >30 seconds here!

Cheers!
