Oh.  I thought you would use Debian.

Time spent getting reusable parts long-term sustainable by integrating 
with Debian is hardly wasted.

If you use project a and b today, but move to project c and d tomorrow, 
then you are right that it might be "waste" of my time, but if you mean 
that you need bleeding edge versions of fast-moving projects a and b, 
then it is not wasteful.

I can most likely not help you if you base your work on non-Debian Node.

Nick Daly and Bdale Garbee found it "good enough" for them to use a 
shell script for generating their FreeodmBox images - even if that meant 
it is hard for others like you to hook into from odd angles.

Seems to be you do similar by using non-Debian Node and rely on NPM. :-(


Good luck with your project,

 - Jonas
