Private bug reported:

Hi Jonathan,

Here is another package that Dustin would usually handle, but given his
absence, I'd appreciate your pushing it through.

Aside from the usual suspects from commercial software: using rpath, not
being able to strip their funky binaries, embedding their own javascript
libraries rather than using the version we have packaged, etc... The
package isn't terrible.  There is a script in it that isn't posix (read:
dash) compliant that they promise to fix in the next version.

So long story short, ugly package as usual, but it's about as clean as
we can get it and it works.

-Brian
