It may not be necessary to use an epoch just for galette, as galette
appears to bundle its own copy of libjs-jquery-cookie in
/usr/share/galette/includes/jquery/jquery.cookie.js - according to:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/galette/filelist

This may have been due to this change:

galette (0.7.5.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version.
  * Keep jquery & jquery ui provided by Galette.

Perhaps the dependency of galette on libjs-jquery-cookie (>= 8) is
redundant now. cc'ing Raphaƫl as he is the maintainer.

But then maybe there is a law that Debian binary package numbers can
never go downwards...

Glad to hear it, that sounds like a good solution for these jquery
libraries :-)

Cheers!
