Uh... no, I hadn't, since there's no main. Now I have tried setting one
as such and it goes through.

I tried to search the web about it, and found only:
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-files/publishing.html

I don't care either way.

That was a bad idea : some of them only work in a browser (they use
navigator) ; I chose one who doesn't for d/nodejs/main.

I still have a lintian warning:

W: node-lumino: nodejs-module-not-declared node-lumino-datastore 
usr/share/nodejs/@lumino/datagrid/package.json

which is strange since I use ${nodejs:Provides} in d/control...

The question is whether it is a problem with pkg-js-tools or with
upstream : in the first case this bug report is legit, in the second
case I should close that one and open one upstream.

Thanks,
