You are talking about a different issue. handlebars.js is not minified. I know about uglify because I use that tool to remove minified js in other packages. >don't >> think it is serious enough to be removed from debian or moved to >> non-free. > >It's not just "nice", it is necessary.

We are talking about rearranged, still readable and modifiable code here. lintian will give an error in the first case and not in the second. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
