The article suggests moving it to contrib, and having it download its stuff post-install. That seems completely reasonable. If it uses common npm libraries that don’t break api’s every few months, then those could be moved to stable. I’d rather libraries packaged by debian releases continue to work for more than 30 days than to have them package unsupportable dev packages that bitrots my dev environment every “apt get update”. It’s kind of amusing to me that there are so many comments saying this is unsustainable, given the fact that multiple BSDs maintain a quality bar similar to Debian’s.
