Would a symlink in /usr/share/javascript/ be acceptable?  Something like
/usr/share/javascript/s5/ui/default/slides.js -> /usr/share/s5/ui/... ?

Otherwise - if the actual file is in /usr/share/javascript/ and there is
a symlink in /usr/share/s5/ - we're looking at a kind of a compromise with
the idea of S5 that the generated presentations should be self-contained,
archivable, copyable, etc. - if somebody just copies a presentation
directory and transfers it to another computer, it won't quite work.
Of course, I could do it that way if you insist, but IMHO it's a bit
preferable to go with the symlink in /usr/share/javascript.

Thanks for reporting this!

G'luck,
Peter
