Via the .min.js suffix if I remember correctly (or other specific
suffixes, since not all minified JavaScript in ownCloud use the .min.js
suffix).

All JavaScript if I remember correctly (especially since upstream
embedded convenient copies of external libraries, usually replaced by
symlinks in the Debian package). That reminds me we may have to add back
the non-minified (symlinks to) JavaScript inside the ownCloud package
(for this debug feature), so I’m going to check it again pretty soon and
will be back here with more accurate data if I notice I didn’t remember
correctly.

Please note that, in the ownCloud case, the non-minified JavaScript is
not the only feature of the debug mode, of course (and thus can’t be
addressed in a JavaScript-only generic way, and maybe not even in a
generic way at all).
