Whatever that tool does, the resulting package should declare Provides:
for each embedded Nodejs module, properly versioned with the module's
own version as first segment then "~" then source package version.
I cannot see a reason for *any* embedded Nodejs module to stay hidden,
but if someone comes up with some exceptional cases for that, then the
reasoning should be explicitly documented in either README.source or
README.Debian (and possibly in long description too).

Everywhere?
I should be able to declare this in some other package:
Build-Depend: node-serialize-javascript (>= 5)
That is not possible today, because no packages provide that name
(despite 3 packages containing some version of it).
That will be possible if tommorrow one of those packages adds this:
Provides: node-serialize-javascript (= 5.0.1)
That will *not* be possible, however, if tommorrow dh-sequence-nodejs
automatically adds this for all three packages:
Provides: $embeddedmodule (= ${embeddedmodule:Version})
...because then it is not deterministic which of them has priority.
