Looking into some past threads, I found something like:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/11/msg00334.html

and indeed I think that a proper way to manage this thing 
would be adding a doxygen-jquery package to allow 'client' packages
to link a single minified doxygen related copy, which would be much better than
spreading multiple copies of jquery here and there. 
In the meantime, I will finalize with a lintian override and remove
the libjs-query dep.
