Same logic as adding components, try source first and fallback to 
npmregistry if that fails. Give options to force npmregistry.

Currently it is,

1. Check version in package.json/package-lock.json/yarn.lock
2a. Go to npmjs.com -> github/source -> tags page -> download tar.gz OR
2b. npm view foo at x.y.z dist.tarball -> wget
3. Extract tar -> copy to debian/build_modules
4. Update debian/copyright
