You need to fix that short description.  Its too long, mostly
meaningless (it boils down to "async parallel forEach/map function"),
and pretty-much bound to give offence, for some.

Cheers, Phil.

This is not written as a simple noun phrase describing the package.
Also, there is no longer description to give enough information to the
reader.

When writing the ITP, please take the time to write a proper package
description. See the Debian Developer's Reference, §6.2.1 – 6.2.3.

Please note that it is often a mistake to copy the text from the
upstream work. Write the description of the Debian package to meet
Debian's guidelines.

Thanks for your work packaging Nodejs libraries for Debian.

Please elaborate in long description on unclear (to me, at least) parts 
of short description - the keywords "no-bullshit" and "ultra-simple" and 
"35-lines-of-code".

Either that, or - if not really _descriptive_ features of this library 
but just fun buzz - then please omit them from short description.


Regards,

 - Jonas
