Bug#847934: closure-compiler: Please upgrade very old ersion to more resent version

[Eerste Laatste]

Package: closure-compiler
Version: 20130227+dfsg1-8
Severity: wishlist

It was brought to my attention that there were closure-compiler warnings in
my code while i did not get any at all in Debian.
Turned out the Debian is so very old and simply does not do many of the checks
and optimizations that were added in the many updates of the closure-compiler
since the very old 2013-02-27 version bundled with Debian.

I checked Jessie backports and unstable for a newer version but found none.
I manually downloaded and tried latest version from
https://github.com/google/closure-compiler
and found out that it has huge improvements over the very old version
buldled with Debian, so if possible please upgrade the old version that is
bundled with Debian.
