rhino would have been migrated to testing in time but the dojo autopkgtests
prevented that. I don't think they work correctly because the same tests pass
when I rebuild the package. [1]

I cannot isolate a targeted fix for this problem, mainly because that was not
the only problem with the package. The older rhino version caused a silent
runtime error in openrefine which broke the web application. We should really
ship 1.7.14 in Bookworm because the old version is already six years old. The
route forward should be simply to fix the autopkgtests in dojo and unblock
rhino.

Regards,

Markus
