OK, thanks for clarifying. But I think Jerome was not suggesting we drop the javascript completely, it's just a temporary solution that allows us to better see "the general shape" of the eventual sagemath Debian package.

IMO it's easier to motivate extra volunteers if they can see a nice mostly-working sagemath Debian package that is very dirty underneath, rather than fixing all of the dirt first ourselves. Don't worry, we are Debian Developers, we don't like dirt either. All of the stupid hacks you see now will be fixed when we finally release it. :p
