d3-format has libjs-d3-format. Others did not do it because all reverse dependencies were consuming the node-* binary.

For apps using browser builds directly without using webpack, shipping in /usr/share/javascript is better.

So if you want to keep binaries, create d3-dsv-tools binary with only the bin directory (since it is not a node library, it does not need node- prefix). Keep node-d3-dsv for files other than bin. Add Provides: libjs-d3-dsv and ship symbolic links in /usr/share/javascript/d3-dsv to advertise browser only version. (Binary package will work in theory but ftp masters don't like smaller libjs-* packages).

The other option is keep node-d3-dsv mostly same. Just move browser files into new libjs-d3-dsv binary and /usr/share/javascript. Add libjs-d3-dsv to node-d3-dsv Depends and provide symlinks in /usr/share/nodejs/d3-dsv/dist. So packages that need only browser files can just Depend on libjs-d3-dsv.
