Thanks, it is a very useful package :-)

When talking to our upstream developers about the way they use
JavaScript, they typically go to get the latest files from GitHub etc.
rather than looking first to see which version they can get from Debian.

Over time, unless there is a known bug which forces an update, their
bundled library becomes older than the version available in Debian. So
they don't necessarily always have the latest version, but they do know
exactly the version they have.

Cheers!

Daniel
