Upstream's CI does not test above node.js 6. I have raised that here:
https://github.com/js-cli/js-liftoff/issues/96

Nonetheless it may be worth updating liftoff to 2.5.0; I am going to try that.

Two new packages are required, see:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-javascript-devel/2018-April/025746.html
Any help with sponsoring them is welcome.

I also need to update:
- node-findup-sync 0.4.3-1 -> 2.0.0
- node-micromatch 2.3.11-1 -> 3.0.4
- node-detect-file 0.1.0-1 -> 1.0.0
- node-resolve-dir 1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1
- node-flagged-respawn -> 0.3.2-1 -> 1.0.0

The latter in particular sounds promising for the "Liftoff launch should 
respawn if process.argv has values from v8flags in it" test failures.
flagged-respawn also has a test suite itself which can be enabled since we now 
have node-v8flags in Debian.
Maybe we catch it there !

Expect more RFSs over the next few days ...

Paolo
