  Version         : 7.4.5

  Description     : compiler for next generation JavaScript

Debian currently has a node-babel version 6. Version 7 is really
different and can cohabit with node-babel=6 (I already add an
alternative for /usr/bin/babeljs in node-babel 6).

I'd like to build a distinct node-babel7 since:
 * transition from node-babel 6 to node-babel 7 will be long
 * the 2 can cohabit: no common files (except alternative
   /usr/bin/babeljs)

Cheers,
Xavier
