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That makes it very out of date. It has been replaced by mozj52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 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)

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

It has no reverse dependencies in Ubuntu.
