I think that DFSG item 2 means we have promised not to do this.
Also this particular issue is in the reject FAQ.

I'd suggest an acceptable workaround is to include the source in the
debian.tar.gz/diff.gz or to repack the upstream tarball, probably the
latter since jQuery is usually an embedded code copy.
