Yes, and that's why javascript shipped in binary packages should be
build from source and we should not copy minified javascript files
from upstream. I think there isn't much disagreement about that
part. But if the minified javascript files in the upstream tarball
aren't used when building the binary packages because the javascript
libraries are already packaged in Debian, then it isn't possible that
something bad sneaks in our packages. So why repack the upstream
tarball?

I don't really see any value in repacking every upstream tarball that
has a minified copy of jQuery.

Kind regards,
