In that case, it should be treated like any other thing for which the compiler is not in Debian: either package the compiler, or put it in contrib. But for javascript that isn't even needed: > We need to leave the Javascript ecosystem mature a bit more but in the > meantime, a bit of tolerance would be appreciated The minifier is a compiler. If it's not in main, files that are compiled with it cannot be in main. For javascript, the easy solution is to not use the compiler. Non-minified code works fine. If you really want minified code, then you need to go for the hard solution, just like in any other language: package the compiler and run it during build.
