[Debian-pan-maintainers] Unifying jupyterlab and node-jupyterlab

[Roland Mas]

Hi Yadd and others,

I'd like to go forward with the jupyterlab/node-jupyterlab merger, 
because I'm facing more and more problems with jupyterlab/ipywidgets not 
being up-to-date. I'm going to start from node-jupyterlab (whose build 
is more complex), create a merge-jupyterlab-and-node-jupyterlab branch 
in it, and add the Python parts in there, starting from the current 
working state of the package (and not the current state of the master 
branch, which doesn't build since I tried to import a new upstream 
release). I'll ask for review before merging into master, but any help 
or advice in the meantime will be welcome. I'll try to be present on IRC 
more often than usual during the operation.

Hopefully upgrading one source package will be easier after the merger, 
and I'll work on ipywidgets after that.

Roland.
