After having cleaned that page up a bit (something strange was recently 
added to it), I'd just clarify my wishlist:

  1) I would like users to be able to get stable real-time audio without 
having to violate system security.

  2) If that is not possible, I'd like the audio group - as used by 
jackd2 - to be renamed in order not to clash with the problems outlined 
in the above article.

The second solution seems quite simple to implement, so I've just filed 
a bug for this in Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656910

Let's see what happens.
