Package: libjs-jquery Severity: normal Control: found -1 3.2.1-1 Control: found -1 3.3.1~dfsg-3
A recent bug filed against sabnzbdplus [1], a python program using cherrypy to serve its web interface that in turn uses jquery, reported the following error upon accessing the web interface: "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xef in position 8593: ordinal not in range(128)". The bug only triggered in case the program was executed in a non-unicode environment. The origin of that problematic byte turned out to be the minified jquery from the libjs-jquery package. Both the non-minified code [2] and upstream's minified file use the notation "\uFFFD" for this byte; only in Debian's jquery.min.js it ends up as 0xef. I understand why Debian chooses to build the minified version itself rather than ship the one supplied with upstream releases, but doing so shouldn't introduce unnecessary regressions. Please fix the minifying process to retain the ascii notation for the likes of "\uFFFD".
