Yes, yes, please! That would make my life so much better for several of
my packages.

I've been replacing the copy of jquery with a symlink to the one shipped
in Debian and adding a dependency on that package, and some quick testing
didn't turn up anything that broke. If that strategy works, maybe
dh_doxygen can do that as well?
