Fortunately, jquery is available as a Debian package.

We had a similar issue with libmojolicious-perl. This package now:
- removes jquery from source tarball [1] using debian/copyright Files-excluded parameter
- depends on libjs-jquery
- provides a symlink to Debian's query instead of the regular jquery file using 
  debian/libmojolicious-perl.links file [2]
