Done

Hmm, I thought the upstream tarball should remain untouched as much as 
possible. So I added the missing-sources to silence the lintian errors.

Also, this way the origtar is still usable if someone else gets it for other 
purposes than for Debian. If I removed the js files, it would make it somehow 
broken because they would be missing and the webapp wouldn't work anymore.

I don't really know how to solve all these constraints.

IIRC there are many other packages in the archive (phpmyadmin is one of those) 
that ship minified js files and have the source-is-missing error. See: 
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/source-is-missing. So I'm not sure this error 
is actually a blocker. Also, this file, which lists the autorejects, doesn't 
list source-is-missing error as problematic: 
https://ftp-master.debian.org/static/lintian.tags

On the phpmyadmin side, they use the following approach: they rebuild the 
minified js from the files they put in missing-sources or link to the ones 
provided by libjs-* but keep the original js in origtar.

I believe my approach is similar to theirs.

Done, thanks for noticing.
