We've done it this way because plenty apps depends on 
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit. So if we would change the name to 
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-svn all apps will complain about 
missing media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit.

But you're right the -0.9999 version doesn't fit in my  naming-scheme so 
I try to provide a meta ebuild or something like that which is called 
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-svn
