Yes, but it doesn't matter. jquery is DFSG-free and redistributable in
Debian. The issue is that we want to be able to easily make security
and bugfix updates to jquery across the whole archive. It's also nice
to use a non-minimized version of jquery to make patching easier. So,
it's only the binary packages that matter here and those already use
Debian's shared jquery library.

My intention is to just wait for upstream to make a new release and
then we'll generate and use a tarball with those files excluded. I'm
not going to drop the Files-Excluded line because it needs to be there
for the next upstream release.

I didn't think this issue was serious enough to do an upload with a
renamed dfsg/repack tarball.
