[Debian-med-packaging] Patch for ampliconoise

I'd be inclined to agree with ftpmaster on this one, as packed JS is
virtually unhackable, but if you look through the various JS files here
most are in unpacked form, plus all the sources are listed in LICENCE.md
so it would be doable to make this DFSG compliant.  Unfortunately it
does mean packaging lots of little scraps off GitHub and there is no
saying if different versions of the JS will be compatible.

It raises the question - should a package like this be "compiled" by
packing all the JS at build time?  Are you aware of any packages that do
this?

Anyway, for now I just want to try and get things working.

Cheers,

TIM
