Strange. I downloaded the source package and ran the autopkgtests manually. I
symlinked js.jar and shrinksafe.jar into util/shrinksafe and then I executed
the runner.sh script. I got the same error message "Cannot set property "dojo"
of null to "[object Object]". Anyway, are the autopkgtests really useful if
they prevent rhino from migration to testing every time we update the package,
even if everything works as expected? The same tests already run at build time.
