Some of the node-* packages change quite frequently and I don't
personally have time to test every one of them every time they release
and backport them too.

When I update JSCommunicator, as upstream developer, I test with a set
of dependencies, including JsSIP and its dependencies, and everything
that I've tested and validated is then uploaded to Debian (both unstable
and eventually backports).  This involves testing standalone
JSCommunicator, testing DruCall, testing on rtc.debian.org and testing
each major browser on Linux and Android.  It is not feasible for me to
repeat all of that every time a node-* package changes though.

I've uploaded a 1.0.19-1~bpo8+1 build corresponding to the version in
testing, 1.0.19-1, this will work with the other packages that have
already been accepted into jessie-backports yesterday.
