JQuery is used for the search in the documentation. Other packages also depend
on libjs-jquery (e.g. python-multiprocessing) and downgrading the dependency to
recommends would cause the symlink at
/usr/share/doc/python-apt/html/_static/jquery.js
to point to a non-existing file /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.js
