Hi Paul,

Thanks for the suggestion.

At this time, there are only two packages using node-way in their
d/rules and both of them appear to be using cdbs[1].  I am not convinced
this is sufficient for introducing a new dh build system to be
maintained in debhelper.
  However, feel free to prototype it in a separate dh-node-waf package
(or so).  Should the build system gain a lot of traction, we can always
import the new build tool into debhelper itself at that time.

Thanks,
~Niels
