This version was in Debian for about 3+ years. It was removed before the 
stretch release because it could not be updated in time for stretch. But now 
new version is available in buster.

This would be helpful to get gitlab to stretch-backports. gitlab in contrib 
uses this version of npm to install yarn and then uses yarn to install the 
dependencies.

Getting npm 5.8 to stretch-backports is going to be much more work. Many new 
dependencies and core packages like babel will need to be back ported.
