Hi :)could you please add a dependency to audio/MIDI app packages for your distros, that will set up real-time usage?

First Planet CCRMA (when jack was in the Planet CCRMA repository) and now Fedora (which includes jack2 out of the box) have had such configuration set up for many years - including memory locking.
I can't see any reason not do add such a dependency. Or is there a good reason not to do?
To applications? Nope, not many if any would use SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR scheduling directly, "pro" audio apps rely on jack, and jack already has a proper configuration in most (all?) audio oriented distros.
