The first of these files is part of the plplot web pages which are not built or used by the Debian packages so could be safely removed. The remainder are part of the doxygen generated documentation. I would see this as a doxygen bug (but from the comments in /usr/share/doc/doxygen/README.jquery it seems like this is going to stay. Since I don't currently package or rebuild this documentation either it could also be removed. I always thought it best to not meddle with the upstream tarball. Would a debian patch to remove the offending .js files be sufficient? x Alternatively, since the files are not used as part of the Debian packages would a lintian override be acceptable? I must admit I didn't find the lintian help for this error particularly helpful in this respect.
