I've checked all r-deps of closure-compiler in Debian, and they all
build -- datatables-extensions shows some errors in a prebuilt file,
but it has done so for a long time, so probably not super relevant.

While I agree that having a 5 year old JS compiler in Debian is not
a great situation, its also not threatening to the packages in
Debian using it, so I'd suggest keeping it for now.
Adrian: you raised the severity, care to lower it until buster is
out (or say some words on why)?
