I wholeheartedly agree.

My suggestion is that we switch to "/usr/share/javascript" which happens 
to also work for file:// URLs.

NB!  This is not a trivial change: We need to bother all 60+ packages 
that depend/recommend javascript-common and also any packages 
depending/recommending any actual javascript packages!
