[Pkg-javascript-devel] node-types-* packages with versioning (node-typescript-types is deprecated)

[Jonas Smedegaard]

The package node-typescript-types is deprecated.

Please avoid (build-)depending on node-typescript-types. (Build-)depend 
on the specific node-types-* package(s) instead.

When including TypeScript type definitions with a package, make sure to 
provide corresponding virtual node-types-* package(s) and do so with 
versioning declared.  I recommend a version format of 
${VIRTUAL_PACKAGE_VERSION}~${SOURCE_PACKAGE_VERSION} to both a) leave 
room for eventually having a native package take over, and b) allow 
consumers to be picky about specific Debian releases of same package 
(e.g. to avoid a proken Debian patch for some revision).

An example of how to resolve and declare such versioned virtual packages 
is here: https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/node-uuid/-/commit/85a6729
