Jens, thanks for the official comment! I've linked to the Mozilla tracker. I
agree with Manuel -- we'd need the packaging committee's approval to get an
exemption for this.

What would be really helpful is if we get official word from Oolite (you,
basically) clarifying how libjs is used, and thus what the security risk in
using a local copy (that is not patched automatically) would be.
