While I agree with you, just the number of node-.* (1249) or libjs-.* (398) packages (which tend to fall within this fast-paced development culture) makes me shiver... Who will maintain them at different compatibility levels? Even more so if their upstreams have effectively abandoned them?
And the real ironic thing is that those packages mainly exist to support some larger app as dependencies, and that larger app is generally out of date so people will just install a non-packaged version anyway--at which point they'll get the node dependencies from live downloads because who the heck would use debian packages for that instead of using the native facilities?
