To be more precise the question should be: Remove all leaf node-* packages AND not installing an executable in /usr/(s)bin/ AND not depending on node-gyp.
Because a nodejs module in debian falls in these categories: - needed by another module - needed by an executable - building js libs for a web app - providing an executable - compiling a nodejs c++ addon So a leaf module not falling in these categories is useless in debian/stable. Attention: i am not asking removal from debian/unstable. Maintainers currently packaging a tree of nodejs modules won't be affected. Can anyone help me providing the release team with a list of those ? Jérémy
