Your criticism is unconstructive. I agree that this is wrong, but
sometimes wrong is the right thing to do. This is even acknowledged by
our policy which discourages embedded copies rather than forbidding
them.
I am not opposed to fixing this embedding, but I will not be doing the
work. I tried and figured that it is not worth the effort. Apparently,
you didn't even read the reasons I gave for not fixing it. Otherwise you
might have given actual arguments.

Please stop useless ranting already.
For changing the status quo, your options are:
* Explain what parts of the reasoning in Doxygen's README.jquery you
consider wrong and why.
* Provide patches that do not break existing use cases.
* Maintain new packages that contain the Javascript libraries used by
Doxygen.
* Make Arch:all autobuilding work.
