[Pkg-javascript-devel] Packaging node-timezone

Hi,

In a renewed effort to try and package bokeh for Debian several
JavaScript dependencies should probably be packaged, and I'm fairly new
at dealing with JavaScript packaging.

I started with timezone. https://bigeasy.github.io/timezone/

I posted my git history here:
https://salsa.debian.org/diane/node-timezone
And I posted a mentors release here:
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/node-timezone/node-timezone_1.0.22+~2018i-1.dsc

I turned upstream's examples into a test harness and it seems like
there's an upstream bug.
https://github.com/bigeasy/timezone/issues/320

ITP bug.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=944398

It embeds a copy of the olsen timezone database, as I couldn't figure
out a good way of reusing the one shipped by Debian.

I included the tzdata as a multi-source archive (Which is why I also
posted it to mentors, as I hadn't done that before)

Would anyone have time to double check the package to see if it's
reasonable?

Thanks,
Diane
