Yes, the idea was to include all files that npm includes in tarball.

Thats not enough. Executables mostly doesn't have an extension. *.js does 
include build configuration files.

Excluding a set of specific files would be better

This is a regression introduced in 0.2.7, previous versions did not have
this behavior. I think only *.js and *.json files should be included by
default.

Bug#867295: npm2deb: please automatically exclude certain files from debian/install

[Johannes Schauer]

Package: npm2deb
Version: 0.2.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Currently, npm2deb puts lots of files into debian/install including
files which definitely do not belong into /usr/lib/nodejs/*/ like:

Hidden files like .travis.yml, .gitattribute, .npmignore, .jshintrc as
well as files that clearly belong to /usr/share/doc/*/ like
changelog.md, license.md or readme.md. Also certain buildsystem specific
files could be excluded like gulpfile.js, karma.conf.js, Gruntfile.js or
bower.json.

There are probably many more files that always have the same name but
should never be shipped inside /usr/share/doc/*/ or at all.
