Agreed!

I mean that when clean for things jack, installing jackd2-firewire also
installed jackd2. This makes sense to me, since AFAIK jackd2-firewire
simply adds firewire support to jackd2.

It seems the same things is happening on debian.

I played with it, but couldn't make it start jackdbus. The advanced
dialog has a "Server prefix"/Server path (command line prefix) where it
currently says "jackd". It's a list that also contains "jackdmp" and
"jackstart" none of which works (I get an error "could not start jack,
sorry"). I tried typing "jackdbus" here which also didn't work, with the
error "Could not connect to the jack server as client".

Renoise main dev, taktik, replied on the renoise forum:
"It's not Renoise which starts Jack in case it's not running. Jack does
so by its own, as soon as the first client uses jack an no jack server
is running."
