According to jQuery's Makefile, is generated with uglify.js which is released with the MIT license and shipped along with jQuery's source-code that anyone can download at git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git . All you need to build jQuery as shipped by jQuery itself is shipped there, in the sources, so I believe is a dummy thing to do it yet again, for the same results with the same tools, and if in doubt ask Einstein how's called someone that does the very same thing, with the very same tools and expects a different result. Enrico, as a web developer that I am: _thanks_ for using JavaScript in an official webtool of Debian. Is was about time we start writing things that _work_ using all the available technologies, is called pragmatism and Debian needs bunches of it.
