Hi,

I don't agree: many @types/foo files are requires by many packages
during build (examples with @types/node, @types/mocha,...). So I think
we should keep a virtual package.

See my previous mail:

Subject: Typescript fix in node-entities

Hi all,

I'd like to share this patch:
https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/node-entities/blob/master/debian/patches/use-global-typescript-files.diff

I understood what was wrong in node-entities and succeeds to fix RC bug
with it:
 * when "typeRoots" is set, typescript loads all files in this
   directories unless "types" is set

I could then remove all embedded @types files

Cheers,
Xavier
