Comment (by Clorith):

 I added [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/982 PR #982]
 to address the items that @poena discovered. It further modifies the
 `imgareaselect` library, which appears unmaintained since 2013 (I see we
 have previously also made custom edits to this library). I limited the
 modifications to only reported deprecations and made them in the bundled
 library file, and appended `-wp` to the version string header in the file
 (this is in line with how core also handled the jQuery 1.12 distributions
 which were custom patched and no longer maintained).

 There are various forks of this library, but there are likely also better
 solutions that could be investigated by now if the plan is to move away
 from jQuery used by core as part of the long run.
