building elinks with javascript support breaks Gnome

Hi.

Since Firefox accessibility still has a ways to go, I do most of my web
browsing with elinks.  Unfortunately, the Ubuntu elinks package has
javascript support disabled.  When I try to install the libmozjs-dev
package needed to get javascript support in elinks, aptitude wants to
remove large parts of gnome to satisfy dependencies.

Would it be possible to enable javascript support in the Ubuntu elinks
package?  If not, does anyone know a way to install the libmozjs-dev
package so I can build elinks from source without breaking Gnome?
