bug#58089: python-bokeh package contains prebuilt javascript.

Hi,

I noticed that the guix packaging for bokeh just downloads the source
code from pypi. But that source unfortunately contains some prebuilt
javascript.

Mostly it's source readable but there's a few .min.js files as well.

And it wouldn't pass Debian's submission guidelines since the
javascript code is compiled from other projects. I'm not sure what your
policies are on prebuilt javascript.

From one of the guix install directories I found 519 .js files, of
which 18 were .min.js files.

/gnu/store/xwf87w9v7g7vphci39v34zgyxg8w31f5-python-bokeh-
2.4.3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bokeh$ find . -name "*.js" | wc -l
519

/gnu/store/xwf87w9v7g7vphci39v34zgyxg8w31f5-python-bokeh-
2.4.3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bokeh$ find . -name "*.min.js" | \
wc -l
18

Our policy is currently pending a rewrite, but TL;DR: we consider both
bundled and prebuilt sources unwanted.  Since bokeh's javascript is
actually typescript (which hasn't been bootstrapped yet), the proper
course of action would be to either remove it or remove bokeh (as well
as python-ikarus).

Cheers

I thought the Guix project was trying to be similarly strict as Debian
so wanted to let you know.
