I had thought js-mathjax was just the component files too and not

wasn't sure what to do.
True. js-mathjax is not truly built from source. A true source build
will properly depend on a huge number of other js packaces. js-mathjax
only redoes the minification step. In light of this, perhaps we should
remove js-mathjax from Guix. But, I'm not sure.
If you like we can ignore this and I can modify calibre to disable
mathjax for now since I don't think it works with the old mathjax 2. I
would like to work on getting more _javascript_ in to guix properly
Yes, disabling mathjax for calibre is a good way to go if the
functionality is not too critical. But, I don't know much about
calibre. So, someone else should take a call.
