5 years on, can we please start being more pragmatic about it and just ship the 
provided js files? Aren't other big packages like Firefox or Chromium also 
doing that? Or are they rebuilding all their js files from source?

The Debian Javascript policy uses soft words like should and could for this:
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Policy

This little package is basically holding sagemath and others hostage. It is the 
reason we have sagemath 9.5 in bookworm instead of 9.7 or 9.8. See #1010735.

Tobias

Sagemath 8.2 uses ipywidgets 7 [1] and using version 6 causes about 80 doctests 
to fail.
