No problem, done

After talking to Xavier on irc, we found a way to package the library:
- the file qrcode.js looks generated by a set of source files but is 
readable enough to be able to update the source
- unused files are removed from the source package and marked as 
"Files-Excluded", those files raised lintian errors
- the d/watch file now uses https://registry.npmjs.org/
- a bug has been opened upstream to ask for a tag whenever a new js 
version is available

The salsa repo [1] has been updated.
