My apologies for missing this out. It's easy to pull in libjs-prettify
then dh_link. Unfortunately, though, supercollider copies the file
into the user's home folder at runtime when generating help docs. This
means that since dh_link generates a relative not absolute link, the
copied file ends up as a broken symlink :(

Would it be OK to manually softlink* from within debian/rules? It's
not as neat as dh_link, and the uninstall needs to be manual too, but
I don't see dh_link providing this option.
