Plus, the jquery packages are not build-dependencies, only run-time
dependencies.

I also found out there is a circular dependency with google-cloud (wtf),
but it is not even used... Those source files only are built when
compiling for appengine. And this circular dep is probably why this
package has not yet entered testing. Fingers crossed, today it will
finally migrate.
