Package: plowshare
Version: 2.1.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

A while ago, I wanted to used plowshare to download a file from zippyshare. The
script returned this

Plowshare's use of Javascript interpreter is disabled in Debian by default for
security. (See: #791467)
Javascript may be enabled by setting the environment variable
PLOWSHARE_DEBIAN_JS=yes

I added "export PLOWSHARE_DEBIAN_JS=yes" to my .bashrc, but it still failed to
download, returning this as the reason

Javascript interpreter not found. Please install one!

So I installed mozilla's javascript shell (libmozjs-24-bin) and it worked!
Thus, I think it should be mentioned as a suggested or recommended package,
because it does enhance the usability of plowshare.
If there is another package that can do the same job, please add that as well.

Thank you in advance.
