What do you need to do?

Package deployment needs to (at least):

cd elpa/packages/firefox-javascript-repl
git submodule update --init

before building the package, so that wtfjs/README.md is available for
inclusion in the tarball.  Maybe "make worktrees" could also initialize
submodules.

I'm OK with the current workaround though, if supporting submodules is a
lot of work.

Thanks,
Thomas
