[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#914510: [npm] contains unnecessary embedded copies

[Paolo Greppi]

Package: npm
Version: 5.8.0+ds6-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

According to this report: https://dedup.debian.net/binary/npm
it should be possible to skip embedding of:
- node-uuid
- node-xdg-basedir
- node-uid-number
- node-libnpx

Additionally cmd-shim and read-cmd-shim are only required on Windows and it should be possible to patch them away.
