[Pkg-javascript-devel] Time to switch to "Build-Depends-Indep" ?

(I think you mean _experienced_ in last sentence above ;-) )

As I understand it, B-D-Indep should be used _only_ when a source 
package builds _both_ architecture-dependent and 
architecture-independent binary packages, and is then used to indicate 
which build-deoendencies can be skipped when only building the 
arch-independent parts.

In other words, not "for all Javascript dependencies" (if I understand 
it correctly).
