Hi Long and welcome to the list !

If you want to test this package youd'need to configure one of the supported browsers (apache2 and lighttpd, nginx is pending see https://bugs.debian.org/818585) to pull the configuration snippet that the package installs (i.e. /etc/apache2/conf-available/javascript-common.conf, /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/90-javascript-alias.conf and possibly /etc/nginx/snippets/javascript-common.conf).
Those snippets are not enabled by default so you need to perform specific steps for the browser(s) you want to test, see the file /usr/share/doc/javascript-common/README.Debian for guidance.

You'd then install one of the libjs-xxx packages and finally curl http://localhost/javascript/package/libxxx.js
If that returns 200, test passes.

It'd be nontrivial to do all that with an autopkgtest, but it should be possible.
Try writing a shell script that does the dance first, then we'll see how to feed it to autopkgtest.
