Bug Description

mozjs
=====

The mozjs source package is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from Firefox 4 (?)

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/Releases/1.8.5

That makes it very out of date. It has been replaced by mozj52 (corresponds with Firefox 52 ESR) which is still supported by Mozilla.

It has 3 reverse dependencies in Ubuntu, none of which are very important any more and all of which have been removed from Debian Testing so let's remove them too:
couchdb
gxine
oolite

$ reverse-depends src:oolite
Reverse-Recommends
------------------
* games-finest (for oolite)
* games-finest-light (for oolite)
* games-simulation (for oolite)
* games-strategy (for oolite)
* gnustep-games (for oolite)

DONE - mozjs24
==============
mozjs24 corresponds with Firefox 24 and is also unsupported.

It has no reverse dependencies in Ubuntu.

Remaining versions of mozjs in Ubuntu bionic
============================================
* mozjs52 ­– supported until June 2018, used by GNOME 3.26 and 3.28
* mozjs38 – used by cjs and an optional package from libproxy, see LP: #1728184

Ahh, edbrowse dropped the mozjs dep in 3.7.1-1, so sleeping this until that migrates.
