Yeah, I had that opinion as well before looking into implementing it. In
the mean time I did remove several embedded copies of jquery from
Doxygen, just not the one we are discussing here. Maybe you could help
doing the missing work by packaging the missing javascript libraries?
It seems futile to discuss whether doxygen should set symlinks to files
that do not exist.

I do not disagree with the goal. I just disagree that doing the work is
worth the^Wmy effort. I.e. patches welcome.

Please don't. I'd have to merge it into #736432.

I don't think it makes any sense to untangle this in individual
packages. If anyone puts up that work, it should happen in Doxygen.
A lintian suppression is not necessary, because this is a bug in
lintian: #736360.
Also packages shouldn't set Built-Using: doxygen. That's not what
Built-Using was created for.
