What really happened here is that I intentionally used the original
tarball so that the updated packaging could be synced to Ubuntu, which
requires the original tarball to match.

I don't think this is at all a DFSG violation (or if it is, it is very
minor) since the bundled jquery.js is intentionally not included in
the binary packages. This will all be fixed whenever upstream releases
a new version.

I'm lowering the severity because there is no need to kick the package
out of Testing for this.

goocanvasmm-2.0 has the same situation.

Thanks,
