[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#899151: node-normalize.css: libjs-normalize.css should be non-virtual so nodejs isn't pulled in by node-normalize.css

[Ximin Luo]

Package: node-normalize.css
Version: 8.0.0-2
Severity: normal
Control: block 898791 by -1
Control: block 898792 by -1

Dear Maintainer,

I cannot install libjs-normalize.css without pulling in nodejs because
currently libjs-normalize.css is a virtual package provided by
node-normalize.css and the latter has a hard dependency on nodejs.

Please either make the hard-dependency a Recommends: or make
libjs-normalize.css a real package with its own set of dependencies. Otherwise
I will not be able to fix #898791 and #898792 that you filed because it is not
appropriate to have nodejs as a build-dependency of rustc.
