[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#843912: libjs-twitter-bootstrap-datepicker: This plugin can work with bootstrap3

[Martín Ferrari]

Package: libjs-twitter-bootstrap-datepicker
Severity: normal

I was looking at this plugin to replace the vendored-in copy of a similar one
in prometheus. But I notice that this package depends on
libjs-twitter-bootstrap, when upstream documents support for both the legacy
bootstrap and the new libjs-bootstrap.

The installed layout makes it dependent on twitter-bootstrap, plus it brings
unneeded dependencies, as I am using bootstrap3. Moreover, the naming is
inconsistent, this is not a twitter project, and upstream calls it
"bootstrap-datepicker-n9" (bower.json).

In conclusion, I think this package should be renamed, the dependencies
adjusted, and the installed layout completely changed, possibly with
compatiblity symlinks.
