Unfortunately I had already uploaded the package, so it is in the new
queue now. I am not sure if it is possible to replace it, maybe asking
to the ftp-mangers.

For the record jslib is the name chosen by the upstream developers,
and I named the binary package "mozilla-jslib", coherently with the
other mozilla plugin packages. Honestly I don't think it is to harmful
to have a Debian source package named "jslib", after all it matches
the upstream name of the Mozilla's plugin site, so people will know it
is exactly that one. Also the name of the binary package is compliant
with the naming schema adopted by the mozilla plugin packages.

However if you think this should absolutely be changed, please let me
know, I will try to do that before it gets out the new queue.

Ciao!
