[Pkg-javascript-devel] Example of "best practice" group sources package?

Dear all,

Yadd said that to provide all embedded packages:

> If you use dh-sequence-nodejs, just add "Provides: ${nodejs:Provides}" and:
> 
>   echo '*' >debian/nodejs/root_modules

I've also started looking at Pirate's work-in-progress on
node-webfont.  I realise that I don't know a few things:

(1) What is considered "best practice" for group sources packages?
I've had a look at the Wiki and the pkg-js-tools README.md.gz, which
is a really good start.  I would find it super-helpful if someone
could point me at a Debian node package which uses group sources and
is regarded as being in good shape.

(2) Are all of the things that should/could appear in debian/nodejs
listed in that README.md file?

(3) Webfont uses older versions of some packages.  I can probably use
newer versions, but would I have to change anything to make the
package "compile" or "work" correctly?

Thanks for your help with such newbie questions!

Best wishes,

   Julian
