Ignore package-lock.json
Check package.json dependencies and devDependencies.
Good news ! They are all in Debian already !
(besides promise-polyfill which is obsolete and should be patched away).
Bad news :( xterm.js debian package needs help.
Also there are tools to help the process of debianizing: npm2deb,
dh-make-node.
They are not perfect, but they can create some default debian/ dir.
You can also use pkgjs-depends to see which packages are required
