I just found out nodejs-dev has some basic debhelper plugin https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/nodejs.git/tree/debian/nodejs.pm may be we can extend that. > If those are "good enough" for you, then I am fine with going that > direction. > > >> FTR, I know next to nothing about grunt/nodejs builds, so I am a poor > >> choice for driving such a prototype.
