This is the right way to go, except that he will want libjs-bootstrap4
instead, based on the lintian error.
If you have other JavaScript dependencies that are not package yet, you
need to either (a) package them (this is the preferred way, but not
always feasible), or (b) remove any minified JS and regenerate them.
For (b), you will need to tweak d/copyright's Excluded-Files directive
and remove the *.min.js (note that you may also need to remove the
*.min.css files) that are not package in Debian, and then use
yui-compressor to generate them from the unminified files that should be
present in the source package.
