for the api the *package* dir might be usefull but i dont know if its
needed for every single application. i would say the apps just use
app/js/scriptname.js for appspecific js scripts. i dont think apps will
have whole appspecific js-collections.

i think the phpgwapi/js/package structure is a good place to keep
systemwide layoutindependend js. some layoutdependend js which is used by
some templete-sets could stay in the tpl dirs imo.
