This team is very loose - which means some in the team package in a 
style others do not agree with.

Sorry if I was unclear.

In my *personal* opinion, concatenated source is not upstream preferred 
form and therefore not the ideal for us to redistribute as source and 
therefore not something that I personally would treat as such.

I believe we as *team* do not have different rules than Debian in 
general regarding what is permitted and what is not in source packages.

No, grunt was not in Debian last I checked.  What I would do is try 
mimic with other tools what grunt does.  I would so such mimicing during 
*build* from true non-concatened non-minified sources included in source 
package, due to my personal opinion described above.
