When the migration from nodejs 0.6 to nodejs 0.10 is finished,
all new packages will go to testing and be good candidates for backports.

The current status is :

* nodejs 0.10, libv8-3.14 are in experimental
* node-gyp isn't but is not tested enough
* i haven't set up a migration yet. Give me a few days...
  Almost all modules will need to be updated, and all c++ addons
  be moved to node-gyp instead of node-waf.

However i don't think it is a good idea to backport npm, it is a
lot of work and being mostly a development tool, people will probably
better be using it in testing/sid.

Of course, as usual, any help is welcome.

Jérémy.
