Dominique, while it is very nice of you to help,
i'm not that happy with these commits : as you have noticed npm needs
dfsg-repackaging, and it was a good occasion to exclude all node_modules.
I would have really appreciated you did the same with that upstream update.

It would have been more helpful to ask before doing actual commits.
What must be done before this npm update is updating/packaging all its
dependencies, meaning packaging first node-gyp and its deps. This is
where help is needed. Updating npm itself is easy, and i am currently
working on nodejs 0.10 update.
Also the plan is to upload everything to experimental until wheezy is out,
and then to setup a transition to nodejs 0.10 / npm 1.2.

Jérémy.
