** Description changed:

  mozjs
  =====
  
  The mozjs source package is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from
  Firefox 4 (?)
  
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
  US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/Releases/1.8.5
  
  That makes it very out of date. It has been replaced by mozj52
  (corresponds with Firefox 52 ESR) which is still supported by Mozilla.
  
  It has 3 reverse dependencies in Ubuntu, none of which are very important any 
more so let's remove them too:
  couchdb
  gxine
  oolite
  
  $ reverse-depends src:oolite
  Reverse-Recommends
  ------------------
  * games-finest                  (for oolite)
  * games-finest-light            (for oolite)
  * games-simulation              (for oolite)
  * games-strategy                (for oolite)
  * gnustep-games                 (for oolite)
  
  mozjs24
  =======
  mozjs24 corresponds with Firefox 24 and is also unsupported.
  
  It has no reverse dependencies in Ubuntu.
+ 
+ Remaining versions of mozjs in Ubuntu bionic
+ ============================================
+ * mozjs52 ­– supported until June 2018, used by GNOME 3.26 and 3.28
+ * mozjs38 – used by cjs and an optional package from libproxy, see LP:
