Note: I'm neither part of the Debian Javascripts Maintainers nor
Maintainer of one of the other packages. But I'm interested to have
zoneminder released together with wheezy.

I looked shortly at the changelog of mootools and noticed the
following:


----cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut-----

mootools (1.4.0~debian1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New Upstram Release
    - Core 1.4.0
    - More 1.4.0.1
  * Replaced 'yui-compressor' with 'uglifyjs' to minify all JavaScript files
  * Parse error in mootools-core.min.js (Closes: #640473)

so back in September mootools was changed to use 'uglifyjs' instead of
'yui-compressor'. Would this reverting back to you-compressor be a
solution?

At least the produced binary package does not show missing files, but
as said above, I'm no expert in this package. What are the
opinions/thougts on attached debdiff?

Salvatore
