Bug#736360: lintian: do not warn about doxygen embedding jquery
* Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>, 2014-01-22, 19:32:
Please stop warning about jquery.js as embedded by Doxygen. I evaluated
all options at fixing this issue in Doxygen and conclude that a fix is
infeasible and its usefulness is limited. The issue and the problems
about fixing it are documented in /usr/share/doc/doxygen/README.jquery
(in the doxygen package >= jessie). Even if there were a security issue
in jquery, it will likely not affect any user via Doxygen.
Security is not the only issue here. jquery.js created by Doxygen is
minified, so there's a risk that we ship it without source.
