Well, I'd like to, but so far I don't really understand it. I don't
even know what it means by "static files". As opposed to what?

I'm sure it's an interesting fact about XStatic, and therefore may
belong in the package description for python-xstatic. But how is it
useful information for people trying to decide whether to install
python-xstatic-jquery.quicksearch? It seems to amount to "this
software is also available as something that isn't a Debian package",
and that's true of pretty much anything in the archives.
Meanwhile there's literally no description whatsoever of the
functionality of jQuery.quicksearch!
