[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Not embedding jquery

[Angus Lees]

I think your patch also needs a rustdoc run-time dependency on libjs-jquery.
If we're going to remove it from the repacked upstream source, then we can
also remove the un-minified source in debian/missing-sources/

For comparison (slightly different situation), in cargo packaging we just
replaced the symlink after building the docs:
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-rust/cargo.git/tree/debian/rules#n62

---

Hrm.  I feel like this is a user-visible change, and therefore something we
might not want to do without a good reason.  On the other hand, anyone who
publishes HTML docs to another host *should* be resolving out-of-sub-tree
symlinks anyway.  So I'm still on the fence :/

A possible alternative might be to read the source file from
/usr/share/javascript at generation time (rather than embed it), but still
generate a regular jquery.js output file (ie: copy, not symlink).  Less
space-efficient in output, but makes it look closer to what upstream
generates.

I definitely agree that we should at least build-depend on libjs-jquery and
replace the embedded copy with the libjs-jquery version.  I have a very
vague memory that someone tried this and it wasn't as easy as just dropping
in a (possibly different) version of jquery however - which invalidates all
of the above alternatives.  Anyone remember the details?
