Well, i actually did that.
So if you've setup the files with the same tree as in source, that is
/usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js/bin/uglifyjs
/usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js/lib/*.js
/usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js/package.json

and a symlink /usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js/bin/uglifyjs -> /usr/bin/uglifyjs
there wouldn't be a need for the patches.

As i said, i'm not questionning the dislike for keeping the original tree,
i'm just saying that it avoids adding more patches.

Jérémy.
