At some point in the past the upstream build for a number of existing
packages (jquery and bootstrap come to mind) switched to using grunt,
which is not packaged in Debian and has a gazillion dependencies.

Both on jquery and on twitter-bootstrap3, the grunt build has to be
emulated by other means, and in twitter-bootstrap3, the code that
actually generates that unreproducible copyright message in is
debian/rules:

You might have tested with the upstream build using grunt, which can't
be used in Debian at the moment.
