[Pkg-javascript-devel] RFC: javascript bundle of small packages

The WIP acorn package uploaded to experimental is a tentative to group
small node package.

The goal is to use uscan to download a few (<=10 packages) in a
debbundle package.

Xadd here in copy has created a merge request for uscan and we are
waiting from ftpmaster about the technique we used.

We acknowledge debian/rules is not pretty, but we plan to improve
debhelper in the future.

Debian is a docraty, and this your contributation to the small package problems.

We are waiting for feedback about viability of this approach.

If you want we could post on debian-devel or open a wiki page, but we
expect to solve the small packages problem ASAP so please give us some
guidance.
