Grunt is going to take a while to package, due to the wider JS ecosystem being generally stupid, over-bloated and self-important far beyond its worth. https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/grunt (For example, I very much doubt someone is going to maintain a debian package for a JS npm package whose only purpose and ability is to check if number-is-nan. Also, lol @ the meow -> indent-string -> repeating -> meow cyclic dependency.) Could we just make an exception at this time for this OTR.js embedded copy? We can add very loud notices to debian/TODO and debian/rules saying that this should be fixed whenever otr.js is packaged properly, hopefully once we convince upstream to move away from Grunt.
