Probably the package should be just ardour. Ardour 4 has many bug
fixes/new features from a3. however, a project made and saved with a4 will
still work on a3 and a project made on a3 will work with a4. (does here) I
would imagine the debian packager wanted to take advantage of the bug
fixes in 4.0 without making it a different package name. 4.1 however, may
break things... the sessions will still work back and forth, but 4.1 adds
trim controls to the strips that 4.0 and 3.* don't know what to do with so
settings on the trims are lost going from 4.1 to 4.0.
