The right solution is for upstream to no longer embed copies of
third-party pre-compiled code in their source package. For the code
that is available in Debian already (jQuery, excanvas), the package
should depend on it. For the code that is not available in Debian
(sammy), you should create a new package containing that code and
depend on that.

That would be an acceptable workaround in the case that upstream
refuses my suggestion or you want to quickly fix the bug while working
on a proper fix.
