Thank you for checking. I think using bundled ckeditor is not an option
because it is source-less and shipped as minified blobs.
jQuery is a lot easier to handle because it is just one file.

I'm already working on that. "ckbuilder" is in backports/NEW and once
accepted I'll upload "ckeditor" (which I need in backports for one of my
packages as well).

As I've said, you don't have to replace all bundled JS libraries with system
ones as it might make package needlessly fragile and difficult to backport.
What you have to do is to find original/uncompressed JS files and ship them
in "debian/missing-sources" ideally replacing minified files as well.
It is easy to do and safe and it will help your package to comply with DFSG
requirements.

You have to start somewhere don't you? I'm not even Otrs2 user (let alone
maintainer) so why do expect more from me?

I think DFSG compliance is not optional in Debian.
Shipping missing sources in "debian/missing-sources" shouldn't take too much
effort... Did you consider this option?
