I think we just got ours as part of OC unbundling. The 'makes sense to
unbundle' line is definitely a bit blurry...I'm never quite sure where
to draw it. Gregor seems to take an "UNBUNDLE ALL THE THINGS" approach,
I lose patience when it's a couple of files that clearly have no sane
upstream distribution anyway...

I've sent that patch upstream anyway as I believe it's upstreamable:
https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/6601

I think if you understand the basic concept of packaging it's not too
hard to figure out what's going on...at least it works in the other
direction, I don't really know the nuts and bolts of how .deb packaging
actually works but it's reasonably easy to find the interesting
customizations from a packages.debian.org page, I've found.

Yeah, I considered that, but it seems not worth the effort if upstream's
going to stop using them. If anything we'd probably want a more
concerted effort to make js minifying consistent distro-wide, but that
sounds like a hell of a project :/

No probs. We found that because someone did a Fedora-wide sweep looking
for pre-built Flash and Silverlight blobs and found quite a lot - Debian
might be interested in doing the same thing, if it hasn't
already...other classic ones are TTFs and .exes, but I'd expect Debian
already has checks for those...
