I had a velleity to do something about jspwiki but it hasn't
materialized. I don't use jspwiki nor plan to use it, nobody has
enquired about the package for years and there are good alternatives. I
think it's preferable to remove it until someone really motivated steps in.

  Hi,
  
  Your package includes some files that seem to lack sources
  in prefered forms of modification:
  src/webdocs/scripts/posteditor.js
  src/webdocs/scripts/mootools.js
 
 Indeed these Javascript files are minified and are not the preferred
 form of modification. I wonder if it is really worth to keep jspwiki
 though. It has a very low popcon value and cannot be part of the main
 distribution. Since Emmanuel has done some recent work on the package, I

+1 from me.  jspwiki is extremely crufty and out-of-date.  
It would be best to remove it, unless Emmanuel objects.

though. It has a very low popcon value and cannot be part of the main

Bug#788726: [src:jspwiki] Some sources are not included in your package

[bastien ROUCARIÈS]

Package: src:jspwiki 
Version:  2.8.0-6
user: lintian-ma...@debian.org

Hi,

Your package includes some files that seem to lack sources
in prefered forms of modification:
src/webdocs/scripts/posteditor.js
src/webdocs/scripts/mootools.js

According to Debian Free Software Guidelines [1] (DFSG) #2:
 The program must include source code, and must allow distribution 
  in source code as well as compiled form.

In some cases this could also constitute a license violation for some
copyleft licenses such as the GNU GPL. (While sometimes the licence
allows not to ship the source, the DFSG always mandates source code.)

In order to solve this problem, you could:
1.  add the source files to debian/missing-sources directory.
2. repack the origin tarball and add the missing source files to it.

Both way satisfy the requirement to ship all source code. The second option
might be preferable due to the following reasons [2]:
 - Upstream can do it too and you could even supply a patch to them, thus
   full filling our social contract [3], see particularly §2.
 - If source and non-source are in different locations, ftpmasters may
   miss the source and (needlessly) reject the package.
 - The source isn't duplicated in every .diff.gz/.debian.tar.* (though
   this only really matters for larger sources).

You could also ask debian...@lists.debian.org or #debian-qa for more
guidance.
