binary packages are neither good nor bad. they are more convenient for
many people, nothing more or less.

0.100 has not been out for very long. however, whoever built your
version of ardour already had it installed (for example, they were using
a development pre-release version of JACK). this was the wrong thing for
them to do. they have ended up releasing a package of ardour that
doesn't work with JACK 0.99, apparently without releasing a version of
JACK that will work.

if you are going to use packages, you have to be able to rely on the
package maintainers.
