Indeed, Doxygen used to ship minified JavaScript and the corresponding source was attached to the Debian packaging, but not regenerated during build. Since then this has changed and the doxygen package does run the yui compressor during package build ensuring that the minification is redoable. The current state is documented at /usr/share/doc/doxygen/README.jquery. Last time I wondered whether packages that use Doxygen during build, should also emit a Built-Using header, it was agreed that Built-Using has a different purpose. So even though the situation could be improved here, it currently is DFSG compatible and build from source is ensured. Help with fixing the embedding issue is welcome of course. When will we have dynamic linking for JavaScript libraries? Helmut
