This was discussed recently both at d-devel and the Javascript team 
mailinglist.

There are different opinions on this...

If you consider it important for Debian to redistribute upstream tarball 
in pristine form but consider it unimportant for Debian to include 
source for files unused to produce binary packages (a view not shared 
with ftpmasters), then just make sure those files are not used and 
suppress that lintian warning.

If you consider it important for Debian both to redistribute upstream 
tarball in pristine form and include source for files unused to produce 
binary packages, then one approach is to build-depend on libjs-jquery 
and node-uglifyjs and fail the build if minification of both included 
minified file and separately packaged file are identical.

What I would do is to repackage the tarball with those files stripped.

NB! Whichever of above you choose, best is to promote code reuse - i.e. 
have the binary package (symlink as needed and) depend on separately 
packaged JavaScript libraries - not ship and use its own minified files.
