I went to the jquery-mobile site and grabbed the latest version of 
jquery-mobile and shoved that onto our dev server where debian loads 
it's outdated package (/usr/share/javascript/jquery-mobile/) and Horde 
links to files in that directory.  I adjusted the sym links that link 
the generic names to specific versions to use the v 1.4.5 files and 
everything works now.

So now to see if I can help the Debian package maintainer upgrade the 
Debian package somehow (I am NOT a Debian Package person) or just monkey 
patch all our prod servers until the Debian package catches up.

Sorry if I wasted anyone's time looking into this.
