My understanding is that ftpmasters dislike small *source* packages.
Small source packages is a burden in *every* package tracking in
Debian.
Small binary packages is also a burden in *some* package tracking.
Zero-size binary packages is also a burden in *some* package tracking,
but I don't hear ftpmasters complain about task packages.
This bug 976331 is *not* about repackaging embedded modules as
separate
*source* packages, but only about exposing embedded modules as
*binary*
packages - either virtual or real ones.
I suggest you embed serialize-javascript in node-terser and if you wish
you can expose it as virtual package via Provides.
Connecting unrelated packages together is making things complicated for
transitions and also increases installed packages size.
Also 'should' is not 'must' in policy.
