I am very much in favour of this: node libraries should be in Debian to
provide a library that is needed for some actual program of benefit to
Debian users.

But my eagerness to remove useless packages makes me worry that some
useful ones could be swept up also.

One use case I don't see addressed: How will we ensure that a library is
not needed for some other package not yet uploaded to Debian?
