Hi, I think the best solution here is to start with a dh-grunt prototype, which can evolve in its own pace (notably a lot faster than debhelper itself). Once it has matured, we can look at merging it into debhelper itself depending on its (build-)dependency requirements. FTR, I know next to nothing about grunt/nodejs builds, so I am a poor choice for driving such a prototype. However, I am happy to assist with the debhelper integration bit. Thanks, ~Niels
