I hope you're planning on rewriting that description for the actual package.

>From Policy paragraph 3.4:

"    The description should describe the package (the program) to a user
     (system administrator) who has never met it before so that they have
     enough information to decide whether they want to install it.  This
     description should not just be copied verbatim from the program's
     documentation.
"

Your above description assumes familiarity with javascript and/or
Node.js, which fails that requirement.

Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy
requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once,
add a voucher, and save on postage.
