Bug#762070: devscripts: [licensecheck] should check also javascript files by default

[Dominique Dumont]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.6
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

For better or for worse, javascript is becoming a widely used language and
more debian package are about packaging javascript. Packaging javascript
requires an analysis of the javacript files to check their license and
copyright. 

Unfortunately, by default, licensecheck does not parse javascript files.
One has to use the -c option to check for licenses in copyright files.

This small patch add js in the default language list.

All the best
