I wanted to wait for the new cjs to migrate to testing before removing
mozjs52 from unstable, to make sure that if the Cinnamon team needed to
revert to an earlier version that still needed mozjs52, there would
still be a package available.

However, that seems to have already happened: "dak rm -R -n -s testing
mozjs52" says nothing in testing depends on it any more, either.

ftp team: please remove src:mozjs52 when convenient.

Thanks,
