Just looking at the package name that seems not an ideal aproach: Should
we then make packages for each combination of libraries to be merged
together, or am I missing a more clever logic? Or do you perhaps point
at that package not suggesting duplicating it but instead cherry-picking
triggers for a system-wide structure?

I agree that too strong standardization is not good - and I disagree
with the interpretation that the Javascript team is moving towards such
standardization.
That said, I do believe Uglifyjs is the best compressor we have, and
recomend to treat it as a "default" similar to newest GCC for C - i.e.
use Uglifyjs unless all of...
* code is complex, and
* upstream tests only only against an alternate compressor which is
available in Debian, and
* no testsuite with decent coverage and usable for us on build
daemons
