pkg-js-tools (--with nodejs) tries to automate some build tools, it 
cannot handle every node module. So you have to find the build command 
from package.json#scripts#build and run this in an override like above 
or add in debian/nodejs/build (which keeps rules file cleaner).

https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/#Using_build_tools_like_grunt 
has this documented for some common tools.
