Then this makes Bower a very bad candidate to "debianize" stuff. We'll have a moving target with a constantly changing git from upstream, meaning that we'll have all sorts of surprise in the gate. Frankly, this Bower thing scares me, and I don't really understand why we're not continuing to use XStatic stuff, which was really convenient and has been proven to work during the Juno cycle.
