[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#553173: Bug#553173: Problem still not solved - this makes web developers crazy!

[Mátyás Biri]

I understand that is not easy to change becouse of the related
packages, but since years?

Is it possible to temporary use 2 overrides (the current bad, and a
good one), than notify all related packages to make changes to use the
good one, than if every package changed forget the /javascript
override?
