Comment (by vu3rdd):

 Perhaps one very simple to use and quickest fix in the Debian package
 would be to use the CDN:

 <https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/d3/2.7.4/d3.time.min.js>

 and remove the ones in src/allmydata/web/static altogether.
 This way, we can:
  - live without any doubt on the js file included with the OS packages.
  - stop shipping a particular version of the JS file with the Tahoe-LAFS.
  - circumvent silly bugs like this one, which is holding off an otherwise
 great software from being distributed with a distro like Debian.

 I can't find 3 version 2.4.6 that is used by the "download-status-
 timeline.xhtml". JQuery versions are here:

  <https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery/>

 If this solution is acceptable, would any of you, authors of Tahoe-LAFS
 verify a version of d3 that works fine? I am asking you that instead of
 doing it myself because I am unfamiliar with Tahoe-LAFS in general and
 don't even have it setup on my end (which I am going to do this week).

 After that I can easily incorporate the patch into the 1.10.0 debian
 package and upload it.

 Thanks
 Ramakrishnan
