Though it looks this can't work during build when the asset is a link. 
See ruby-jquery-rails for example.

I think this test should be run after dh_link or only run as autopkgtests.

The error when building,

rake aborted!
Sprockets::FileNotFound: couldn't find file 'jquery' with type 
'application/javascript'
Checked in these paths:
  /tmp/testapp/app/assets/javascripts

I have pushed the changes to debian-tests-assets branch.
