I'd prefer to have only one version of enet in Debian, but I
understand the reasoning here (protocol incompatibility).

Why can't you use the versions of SpiderMonkey already in the archive
(1.9.1.18, 2.0)?

I'd suggest also removing any embedded code copies that aren't used by
the Debian package.

I covered this in my earlier mail, was my guess about how they are
used incorrect?
