I have explained my opinion in <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/05/msg00191.html>: the source *is* in Debian, just in a different source package. The actual code, used by the package when installed, is used from that different source package. This is no different from something using the "Built-Using" header. The minified javascript library is a convenience copy of free software, but can be exchanged by another copy or implementation of the exact same functionality, as I assert by symlinking the actually-used file from the file system. I remain unconvinced that removing something from a source package that is shipped identically elsewhere in Debian is useful to our users, our upstreams, our maintainers, or free software in general. Please explain to me how it is, before asserting that I'm wrong.
