Yes, pkg-js-tools laready choose git when npmjs version exists in tags,
else it fallbacks to npm registry (DD has to fill an issue to upstream
to ask for tags). Same behavior than npm2deb.

NB: debcheck-node-repo (which is launched automatically with
`lintian --profile pkg-js-extra`) verifies that and propose to switch to
git tag if tags are OK

If we force to use git tags, we may have an outdated version of
component. That's why I choose this algorithm.

Cheers,
Xavier
