Ok, this is my first package in debian so I'm still getting used to things.

My thinking is that this package depends on external APIs (the hosting 
websites) and so it is a good candidate for backports. I hope to be able to add 
new upstream versions there in addition to unstable. I know that version 2 
doesn't handle javascript differently, but it does have a different philosophy 
about modules and who is responsible for them, so I want to think about what is 
reasonable with that situation.

I see that rhino in stable has a -sandbox switch. I know very little about 
rhino, and I'll have to check to see exactly what promises this mode makes, but 
it might be sufficient. The documentation is very vague so I'm not confident 
about this.

As for the version of plowshare in stable: it will become increasingly 
irrelevant as the API implementations gradually break. I would expect that 
anyone making serious use of it would be after the latest versions anyway 
rather than relying on the stable version. As such, disabling the javascript 
support entirely is probably acceptable and is certainly the most definitive 
fix. I expect it to at least partially break something of order 10 modules, but 
I'll test out this solution shortly.

Carl
