Long term the right solution is to get a combo loader going, one that can be run locally in addition to the central Canonical one. The local one could then link non-minified files. Until then, it's probably worth making the jsbuild step sniff for devmode and not link the minified files. So launchpap.js would be larger, but you could step through the code better. I'm not sure what the performance impact on development would be of this approach. And as a user of Firebug, I've been meaning to add this Firefox add on to see if it helps, but haven't gotten to it yet: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/javascript-deminifier/ Maybe there's something similar for Chromium users.
