Severity: wishlist
* Package name : colorbox
Version : 1.6.4
Upstream Author : Jack Moore
* URL : http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/

Description : A lightweight customizable lightbox plugin for jQuery
A minimal photo gallery built as a jQuery plugin.
Features:
* Supports photos, grouping, slideshow, ajax, inline, and iframed
content.
* Lightweight: 10KB of JavaScript (less than 5KBs gzipped).
* Appearance is controlled through CSS so it can be restyled.

source files.
* Completely unobtrusive, options are set in the JS and require no
changes to existing HTML.
* Preloads upcoming images in a photo group.

This is a required dependency to package the Sigal gallery generator
(#879239). It depends on (and ships with) jQuery 2.2.1 (at least in
Sigal), an out of date copy of the 2.x jQuery series, which is not
packaged in Debian (we ship 3.x). There's a discussion for packaging
multiple jQuery versions in Debian in #680282 but maybe a better
approach would be to get the colorbox people to update their version
of jQuery instead. A bug was reported upstream about some jQuery 3.x
deprecation notices here which might create some movement here:

It also ships the "touchswipe" library which might need to be packaged
seperately:

I'd be happy to delegate maintenance to the js team or co-maintain.
