Bug Description

libjansson-doc Depends on libjs-backbone and creates a link to it under /usr/share/doc/libjansson-doc/html/_static/, but does not require it anywhere.

Ideally, we should avoid having this kind of dependency as it adds to packages to be installed when libjansson-doc gets installed.

In this particular case, my issue with it is that it would be one additional package to write a main inclusion report for as I want to write a MIR for libjansson (a build dependency of libteam).

See:
 - bug 1392012: [MIR] libteam
 - bug 1392023: [MIR] jansson
