[DRE-maint] Bug#718367: ruby-uglifier: embedded code copy of uglifyJS (should depend on some package built from uglifyjs source)

Package: ruby-uglifier
Version: 1.2.5-2
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 uglifyjs 

the uglifyjs source package contains the javascript for uglifyJS.

however, ruby-uglifier also appears to contain a (reorganized) version
of the same code.

Debian packages should not contain embedded copies of code that exists
elsewhere in the archive; it makes maintenance and security fixes more
difficult than they need to be.
