Thanks Yadd!

I'm just a beginner, but I'm having a look at the
fonts-materialdesignicons-webfont package and trying to update it.  To
actually build it from source requires 7 as-yet-unpackaged JavaScript
(node) packages (see below).

I'm reading the JavaScript team policy and tutorial.  Once I've
packaged them, would someone with more Debian JavaScript experience be
willing to glance over them before I upload them?

One specific point: @mdi/font-build creates a binary called
"font-build", which seems to me perhaps overly generic; though there
doesn't yet exist a binary with that name in the Debian archive, I
wonder whether I should rename it to mdi-font-build instead.

Best wishes,

   Julian
