Right now npm 5 depends indirectly on both "request" and "got" modules,
which are doing exactly the same thing. Maintaining this requires an amount
of forgiveness i don't have right now.

Anyway here's what you would want to do:
- start from an empty debian/copyright file (to avoid old dfsg repackagings)
- import new upstream tarball
- populate debian/copyright (including everything in node_modules as well),
it shouldn't be that difficult.

With this approach the only maintenance burden will be to update
debian/copyright.
Next step will be up to ftpmasters to decide if it's okay to bundle
everything in
that particular case.
