This is not trivial to fix.

The preferred form for modification appears to be found at
https://github.com/imaya/zlib.js - our rawinflate.min.js matches
the precompiled/minified version 0.1.6 from that repository.

That repository contains JS source code which is compiled with the
Google Closure Compiler (implemented in Java), a copy of which
can be found in that repository as non-source (a precompiled
jar file).

The Closure compiler exists in Debian, but probably not at the same version,
and some of the command-line syntax seems to have changed. It was not
clear to me how to reconstruct the desired version of rawinflate.min.js
from that repository, but that's not surprising, because I have no idea
how Closure is meant to work in any case.

Gtk maintainers: how important is the Broadway backend? Would it
be reasonable to disable that backend, and remove rawinflate.min.js
from a .dfsg repacked tarball?

If not, I think this will require help from someone who knows the
Javascript ecosystem, and/or Gtk upstream.
