Hello Free.
My name is Cory. I'm the lead on the Ubuntu Studio project. We plan on releasing Ardour beta 12 as per Paul Davis's request with a update to final to follow once released.
We ran across your package in Debian experimental this morning and noticed that you are upgrading the .99 version to the beta 12. Ive had chats with Paul about this and it seems best that they can install along-side each other so people can continue to use Ardour .99 with older sessions.
We had planed to have them exist together. I don't want to create a delta from what your doing so I'm writing you today to see what we can work out.
