As far as I can tell, the maintainer is listed as '
pkg-javascript-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org', and I assume they're
getting  these bug emails, but I've not had any response yet.

You cut out here, but I get the gist. There's a few complications.

As far as I can make out, the problem was not introduced upstream, but
rather in Debian's version of the library. The upstream code (
https://github.com/tzuryby/jquery.hotkeys) does not contain the problematic
code.

WRT reverting the changes made to the library, that solution would suit me
fine, but I have no idea whether this will break other people (not being a
JS developer, this is kind of hard for me to determine).
