I'm not a Maintainer, but I can respond here.

Minified files are compiled files. Without the source and the compilation
instructions, those files can not be shipped in a debian packages.

So yes, if you could obtain source of all minified javascript files included
in chromium upstream packages, those files should then appear in a package
built by debian.

(Of course, their license should be compatible with debian requirements
about licences)
