Bug#916145: closure-compiler: Not working with recent JS code

[Roland Gruber]

Package: closure-compiler
Version: 20130227+dfsg1-9
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the current version is so old that it got incompatible with recent JS code.
E.g. jQuery 3.3.1 cannot be minified as the tool reports parsing errors.

Please either update the tool or remove it from the archive. This is now
5 years in unmaintained state.
