The biggest objection (as far as I remember) came out from d-devel ML and was:
 "Hey, these too small libraries have more package-metadata than lines of code"

That was true, see [0][1].



In this case, why don't "nodemodules-connect-goodies" ?

Anyway.. If we go ahead with those "big" packages, we may need to
develop "something" (auto-scripts/plugins/wrappers/whatever for
debhelper) in order to correctly track upstream, get the libraries
updated and facilitate the maintaining for those big packages.

A web service (e.g.) or ..... I don't know ... ideas?
