I see that a) src:node-jest embeds expect.js 26.6.2 hidden (i.e. without 
providing it), and that b) src:node-expect.js contains expect.js 0.3.1.

I believe you when you say that it is bad, but I don't understand *what* 
it is that is bad.

I guess that you are above saying that you tried to "unhide" the 
embedded expect.js in src:jest but that was too complex to do.

Do I understand that correctly?

I don't understand what is complex about it: I would imagine that it 
would be possible to either make a virtual package...

 a1) build packages/expect/build/* using tsc
 b1) install packages/expect/build/*
     to /usr/share/nodejs/expect.js/build of binary package jest
 c1) add line "Provides: expect.js (= 26.6.2)
     to binary package jest

...or a real package:

 a2) build packages/expect/build/* using tsc
 b2) install packages/expect/build/*
     to /usr/share/nodejs/expect.js/build of binary package expect.js
 c2) add section to introduce new binary package expect.js

What am I missing or misunderstanding?
