No, I have not checked the code.

It is permitted to package dead-end tools to "infect" users' systems
with non-Debian tools, but what is your point in doing that? You cannot
package any code that _needs_ vue if that package is only available
through pulling it in from an external source.

An example of dead-end helpers is the official Debian package rustup
which is nice and convenient for users *not* caring about source, but
totally useless for Debian developers for packaging anything depending
on that side-installed tool.

So back to your original question: Why do you ask? What is the aim?
