Thanks for the patch. As this is not a native debian package, can you
send the pull request to https://github.com/LeoIannacone/npm2deb or
modify the existing merge request as a quilt patch (in case you don't
like to use github)?

For the majority of packages created by npm2deb, the source package name
is always node-<module name>, but as you found out, not all packages
follow this scheme and there is the case of babel, where one source
package creates a lot of binary packages. We were simple not aware of a
better solution and thanks for figuring out the correct solution.
