Hi,

thanks for your help, the only doc I know is npm2deb -h:

usage: npm2deb [-h] [-D DEBUG] [-v]
{create,view,depends,rdepends,search,itp,license} ...

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -D DEBUG, --debug DEBUG
                        set debug level
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit

commands:
  {create,view,depends,rdepends,search,itp,license}
    create              create the debian files
    view                a summary view of a node module
    depends             show module dependencies in npm and debian
    rdepends            show the reverse dependencies for module
    search              look for module in debian project
    itp                 print a itp bug template
    license             print license template and exit

Cheers,
Xavier
