Please join #debian-js if possible, so that such stuff can be discussed with the rest of the Debian JS team. The above was discussed between Thomas Goirand and myself.

The idea is to be able to provide jquery and jquery-ui via update-alternatives. 

Even if only one version of jquery* is maintained in Debian, it will allow one to provide other versions of jquery via non-Debian repos (like it may become relevant in openstack and probably several other repos offering jquery based webUIs).
