First we should clearly draw a line between npm2debian, seen as a npm package,
that is currently installable using
   npm install git://github.com/arikon/npm2debian.git

and the future debian package npm2debian, that will declare its dependencies
in debian/control. To be acceptable, those dependencies will need to be available
as debian packages as well.
Among some of them is npm itself, so i quickly fixed the current debian package
available in
   http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/npm.git

to install itself as a require-able nodejs module.

What's great about all this is that npm2debian will help itself be an acceptable
debian package, since we would ideally use it to prepare its dependencies :)
