If you know these are part of the source, you can ignore this warning 
and ship all the modules in a single node-protobufjs package. See 
node-babel or node-vue for example.

See https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/GroupSourcesTutorial

$ apt-file find @types/node
node-typescript-types: /usr/share/nodejs/@types/node/README.md

For @types/long, we prefer to embed in in node-long if already present. 
Since node-long is not packaged, I think we may be able to add it to 
node-typescript-types. Xavier/yadd has been working on adding type 
definitions so he may have a better idea than me.
