Package: ftp.debian.org

mozjs is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from Firefox. Version 24
corresponds with Firefox 24 ESR which hasn't been supported since
2014. Now that nothing uses mozjs24 any more in Debian, please remove
it.

My relationship to this package is that I am on the Debian GNOME team
which maintains mozjs52. I feel confident that the mozjs24 maintainer
will be ok with this package's removal.

So for buster, we intend to include mozjs60. Cinnamon's cjs might keep
using mozjs52. All other mozjs versions have been removed already.
