I tried that as well, now. And I agree it's a pretty nice feature. So I
took another look at packaging the webgui.

It turned out that libjs-jquery-1.7.2+dfsg-3.2 and
libjs-jquery-flot-0.8.2+dfsg-1 (as currently in unstable) work just fine
with the map. And I didn't run into any console error in the property
browser or the radiostack, either.

leaflet is in unstable with the exact same version, so the only source
that's really missing is sprintf. I added that with the appropriate
license info.

You can temporarily test a pre-built package by fetching from here, if
this saves time:

 dget
http://www.bluegap.ch/tmp/flightgear-data_3.4.0+dfsg-0~exp1_amd64.changes

Well, sure, but that'd be the worst variant: We'd have to maintain the
sources and their copyright status, without using them. I'm trying to
avoid that duplication.
