I guess this is up to the packager/maintainer. I myself prefer to include the .js suffix in order to be as close as possible from upstream. My rationale is that someone who wants to include this library as a dependency will either look for the upstream package name, or look for some substring that is part of the upstream package name. But either way, I guess this depends on the preference of the maintainer. -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible http://sergiodj.net/
