I think probably the best way is to wait for the buildds to catch up 
with some more of the ongoing mass-rebuilds, and then do a no-changes 
sourceful upload of gjs with a Build-Depends on a sufficiently new 
mozjs; possibly with a sourceful upload of mozjs first, so that we 
aren't relying on its binNMU versioning.

It seems best to wait a bit until the buildds and ftp.debian.org are not 
so backlogged.
