I am not a specialist at all for Javascript, and all I try is just
to keep a Python package (with a very responsive upstream!) in a

also nobody from the Lintian team (who wrote the heuristics to
identify this file as non-source, and also underlined that they
still claim the file to be non-source) took part in the discussion
here so far. It looks a bit weird for me that they create a Lintian
"error" and seem not to have a (even preliminary and discussable)
"source" definition. So, I think that the lintian tag in question
is more a "wild guess" and should be marked as such.
Next Lintian version will count ; and ne more clever.
However line > 512 will be tagged due to regex récursion problèm and
it is totally insane.
What I meant here is that you should explain a bit what you consider a
source and what not -- here for the discussion, and in the lintian tag
documentation for the help of the users. Just experimenting some random
heuristics without a proper definition (at least a working one) is not
enough to qualify the tag for something other than "experimental", IMO.
