Hello Daniel, There has been extensive discussion of this on debian-devel over the past few months. Though it was mainly about nodejs libs, the discussion applies to libjs-* packages too.
The outcome of the discussions: - the advantages of packaging these libs separately outweigh the disadvantages - you must package the "complicated build systems" to which you refer. The ftp-masters have been explicit about this. -- Sean Whitton
