I don't think either that making a group package for such small 
dependencies is a good idea to build other javascript packages.

Concerning jest, I've created a merge request in the current salsa repo 
to complete the node-jest package. [1]
The package now builds with success with all jest packages included. 
Lintian complains about the script jest-cli/jest.js that is not 
executable and I haven't figured out why yet.

But the remaining problem in order to complete node-jest is to package 
some of its dependencies.

I'm currently making a package for istanbuljs that is a meta package 
like jest and some of its modules are required for node-jest-cli.

Another issue with jest is the package node-babel-code-frame which is 
required for node-jest-message-util. Currently the package node-babel in 
unstable is 6.26 but I see in salsa that node-babel 7 is in progress to 
be packaged. I also can ask upstream if babel 6.26 is enough for this 
module to work.
