If you just remove your postinst, and add --with systemd in your
debian/rules, then it will be automatically done. Here, your postinst
doesn't even have a #DEBHELPER#, so it wont work, as much as I know (or
am I missing something?).

It does, as long as you have --with systemd and build-depend on dh-systemd.

Cool!

You can always patch this, and link to a local version. Both of these
javascript libs are in Debian, so your local file next to the docs could
be a symlink to the libjs-* package(s).

I hope this helps,
