[Pkg-javascript-devel] Remove all leaf node-* packages (and libjs-* too) from testing ?

To be more precise the question should be:

Remove all leaf node-* packages AND not installing an executable in /usr/(s)bin/
AND not depending on node-gyp.

Because a nodejs module in debian falls in these categories:
- needed by another module
- needed by an executable
- building js libs for a web app
- providing an executable
- compiling a nodejs c++ addon

So a leaf module not falling in these categories is useless in debian/stable.

Attention: i am not asking removal from debian/unstable. Maintainers
currently packaging a tree of nodejs modules won't be affected.

Can anyone help me providing the release team with a list of those ?
