Eh, I’d call that RC. People have been told off for not including the
corresponding source in the .orig.tar.gz for ages. (Same for a LICENCE
file, which one is not allowed to add in the Debian patch, even if the
licence terms come from upstream.)
You’ll have to repack the orig.tar.xz(I guess) thus.

Actually, I believe not, since they may belong into the _same_ tarball
as their “binaries” (minified versions).
>Although, the fact these sources aren't used at all is troubling.
Oh, definitely, that too.
In fact, I’ve already filed such as RC bug against one of the
ECMAscript packages where I noticed it, and I think this happens
with many more.
