It is generally useful, not specific to any OS. > Does this constitute an improvement to the upstream code base? Or should > remain a persistent patch in the Debian package? Upstream. I've filed it here: https://github.com/mbostock/preamble/pull/4 > Does this change apply more generally to many JavaScript packages? Not that I am aware of. It would only apply to a limit subset of packages where: a) We use the output during a package build b) That output ends up in the resulting binaries c) The output actually is not reproducible (ie. dates). (The only other example I can recall right now is in uglifyjs which has non- determinstic dictionary ordering IIRC.)
