I think that the position, as well as the website, are crystal clear.
The ‘Quick Overview’ is not a license by itself, it simply tries to summarise
in two lines what copyleft means, and is not an additional restriction to the
GPL.
debian-devel@l.d.o is a good place to hear some advices, but the only persons
who veto packages in Debian are our archive administrators, an none of them has
objected against libjs-extjs. In my opinion, just go ahead and it will be fine :)
Have a nice day,
