[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#972575: npm2deb should search node modules in virtual packages

[Xavier Guimard]

Package: npm2deb
Version: 0.3.0-5
Severity: important

npm2deb currently uses salsa repository to know if a package already
exists or not. This is a bad way because:
 * some node packages are not under pkg-js umbrella (node-almond,...)
 * lintian warns when a package does not declare its modules installed
   in nodejs root directories
 * some packages exists in js-team repo while they've been removed from
   archive

Then I think we should switch to (virtual) package search.

Cheers,
Xavier
