I turned that idea over and over and came up with the conclusion
that we should avoid that idea of making bundles of unrelated software.

Please, either include node-uid-safe in node-express-session (as patch,
or using the kind of tarball packager i've been trying to make), or make
a proper debian package of node-uid-safe.

Any other solution is a mess waiting to happen - the best way to
distribute software in debian is by making proper debian packages, not
bundling modules because "it saves resources".
