FYI mediatomb is pretty much dead and I'm working to replace it with the
new fork "gerbera", which has already switched to using duktape as its
javascript engine. I expect this package to be removed before this bug
gets fixed. Mediatomb is not in testing so at least it should not block
removing mozjs there.

Thanks,
James
