How about this:
Now:
1) Skip generating and installing any minified files at build time.
2) Try minify and fallback to copy in postinst script:
for if in $files-to-be-minified; do
of="$(basename "$if" .js).min.js"
javascript-minifier -o "$of" "$if" | cp -a "$if" "$of"
done
3) Remove minified/copied files in "remove" state of postrm script:
for if in $files-to-be-minified; do
of="$(basename "$if" .js).min.js"
rm -f "$of"
done
(javascript-minifier should use same basic syntax as both yui-compressor
and uglifyjs share today.)
Official result now:
* Javascript files will not be minified.
Unofficial possibility now:
* Add /usr/local/bin/javascript-minifier symlink to yui-compressor
* Add /usr/local/bin/javascript-minifier custom compressor script
Official possibility later (perhaps even at a stable point release):
* Add javascript-minifier package with debconf handling of
/etc/alternatives symlinking of /usr/bin/javascript-minifier and
perhaps also /usr/sbin/update-javascript-minifications.
How does that sound? Too complex at this stage?
@Marcelo: What do you think?
What do others in the team think?

P.S. Yes - I still think generally across all Javascript packages...
