I found bugs in the js-task-edit script that mis-detected some
packages. After much wrangling (details in #909753), I managed to update
the page again and we're down to twenty build and seven run-time depends
missing.
Well. That was disappointing. But at least no one started working on
those 6 build-deps, right? :)
