I was aware of this issue (reported as an error by lintian) but I uploaded the actual package anyway, waiting to find a possible and elegant solution to the problem. I already reached a similar target dropping the installation of another .js file provided in upstream tarball. At that time, I tried the same with jquery-ui.js but the trick didn't work. I'll try to solve this issue as soon as I've ended my holidays and I'll be back to keyboard. Thanks for reporting this officially. Cheers. -- Matteo F. Vescovi | Debian Maintainer
