Hi all,

most of packages proposed to NEW queue are pushed without care. Here an
example of fix:

  * Team upload

  [ lintian-brush ]
  * Trim trailing whitespace
  * Bump debhelper from old 11 to 13
  * Set upstream metadata fields: Bug-Submit
  * Remove obsolete fields Contact, Name from debian/upstream/metadata
    (already present in machine-readable debian/copyright)
  * Update standards version to 4.6.0, no changes needed

  [ Yadd ]
  * Add "Rules-Requires-Root: no"
  * Fix filenamemangle
  * Use dh-sequence-nodejs instead of pkg-js-tools
  * Drop dependency to nodejs
  * Drop uneeded dependency versioned constraints
  * Mark test dependencies with <!nocheck>

I don't think it's normal to push package with npm2deb default template
without looking at debian/* files

 * debhelper: was 11 in Buster, >2 years ago!
 * dh-sequence-nodejs: only Buster doesn't know it
 * <!nocheck>: requires for ages
 * ...

We have automatic tools such lintian-bruch and we have lintian that
shows problems. Why are you pushing such dirty work ?
