[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#979698: src:nodejs: should provide virtual package node-types-node

Bug#979693 indicates that nodejs now embeds Node.js module @node/types.

Please provide virtual packages for any and all modules installed, so
that consuming packages can declare explicit package relations, which
helps in e.g. assess when to deprecate embedded modules or maybe move
them out to independent packages.

Even if the module is inherently tied to the src:nodejs codebase, it is
still helpful to consistently declare virtual packages for all modules:
I hope that we can at some point make it into Debian Policy that Node.js
modules *must* be declared as (virtual or real) package name, which can
then simplify tooling.
