I mean pages like: =2D https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Policy =2D https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs they have an npm2deb importer https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Npm2Deb ... we could import what they import :-) I see in Apr 2016 a brief discussion on a .deb importer was done https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-04/msg01053.html what is the updated situation today?
