I'm getting this new lintian warning for language_data.js,
but I can't find which binary package I should depend on.

"sphinx" (as suggested by lintian) is a virtual package provided by python3-sphinx
which doesn't contain "language_data.js" [0] and libjs-sphinxdoc (which seems more
appropriate) does not contain "language_data.js" either [1].

Is it an oversight, or is "language_data.js" somewhere else ?

Also according to other embedded js warnings from lintian, the package name
should be a binary package name (mostly libjs-something), maybe "sphinx"
should be changed to the actual binary package to depend on ? (maybe libjs-sphinxdoc)

This will help maintainers find the correct package to use.

Thanks for your help :)
