+Description: strip shortbreadv1.js from source tarball
+ shortbreadv1.js is distributed as minimized javascript with no
+ copyright or license information and no links to the original
+ source. So we remove it from the orig tarball and remove references
+ to it from the rest of the package contents.
+ .
+ The javascript in quesetion is related to interactive questions about
+ affermative cookie consent as required by GDPR and other
+ regulations. Since we are not building HTML docs at all as part of
+ this package, removing this file has no material impact on the
+ packages we build.
