Agreed, thanks for considering this.

Agreed, in your case it would also flag the source from DataTablesSrc
so clearly something needs to be different. There is some work in
lintian git to try to improve this situation. OTOH probably some false
positives in these checks are acceptable in order to get the situation
with JavaScript in Debian a bit closer to sanity.
