Thanks a lot for reporting this, and working on those packages!

In the (unlikely!) case that above fail to progress for too long, we 
also have the option of shipping only the non-jQuery demos.

I certainly agree.

Since the Janus developer consider that code only demos, not for 
production use, I expect to simply comment out that line with a patch, 
and mention in README.debian that one or more STUN servers are required 
for those demos to work.

...but please let's discuss that separately: Can I ask you to file a 
separate bugreport about that issue?
