It does not need to be and probably shouldn't be but sometimes people do
leave stuff like that in their changelog

Like this:

- untar
- delete bad files
- tar up the tree, adding +dfsg to the version

e.g.

   tar xzf project-1.0.0.tgz
   rm project/jquery.js
   tar cjf project_1.0.0+dfsg1.orig.tar.bz2 project

Notice I add a version 1 to the dfsg as well, so if it has to be
repacked a second time (because you missed some binary the first time
around), you would do:

   tar cjf project_1.0.0+dfsg2.orig.tar.bz2 project

You then need to make sure the package does the following:

- add a dependency on libjs-jquery
- create a symlink to the /usr/share..../jquery.js file

I've been extremely busy lately but if you make it as easy as possible
for me to checkout, build and upload then I'll do what I can

Is your key on the DM keyring and would you want to be on the ACL for
this package?  Or have you got a DD application in progress?
