Ikiwiki ships with a convenient copy of jquery.

Instead, it should us the spearately packaged jquery.

Yes, but I would have to use a symlink, and ikiwiki refuses to use
symlinks for security reasons, so this would need a complex special case

Right now I use this in an Apache2 snippet:

Alias /ikiwiki/openid/jquery.js /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js

That doesn't require any symlinks anywhere.

If you depended on the packaged jquery you could instead (for Debian
use) hardcode base path /javascript/ established by javascript-common.

Alternatively you could hardcode base path /usr/share/javascript/ and
recommend (in documentation and perhaps by offering a snippet) a
corresponding Apache2 alias - that would make it work also offline.

Even better would be to make it a configurable path/URL.  That has
another use: Some (others than me) prefer to link against the Google
hosted jquery as that is likely to already be in browser cache so faster
to load.
