[Pkg-javascript-devel] Typescript and Debian directories

[Jérémy Lal]

Hello, i'm all right patching typescript, but that would mean local
installs of typescript
wouldn't find the modules anyway.
So... do you know if a local user install of typescript is going to want to
discover global modules ?
If not, then it's okay to patch typescript and i think i can do it...
