Hello,

I propose the addition of dh-make-node tool which, as the other
dh-make-* tools, generates debian/ directory by reading package.json.
The tool does the most of the tedious tasks:

* resolves the dependencies;
* generates test;
* creates a template of d/copyright;
* creates a watch file.

Of course the resulting debian/ directory requires a human review, but
the amount of manual work is reduced. Comments are welcome.
