[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#763611: nodejs: please remove libuv and http-parser from source

[Ólafur Jens Sigurðsson]

Package: nodejs
Version: 0.10.29~dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Currently nodejs source package contains the sources to v8, libuv and
http-parser in its deps directory. All these libs are available as
packages within debian (and nodejs already depends on libv8), wouldn't it 
then make sense to use those packages and not ship these with nodejs?

Also, see policy 4.13
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles

Cheers, Oli
