  Description     : Class for representing 64-bit two's-complement
integer value

 A Long class for representing a 64 bit two's-complement integer value
 derived from the Closure Library for stand-alone use and extended with
 unsigned support.
 .
 This is a class used by various modules that does not use newer bigint.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

This is a tiny module that is needed for protobufjs (bug #977564),
although being widely used according to npm stats, I feel it's better to
package it as standalone and not as grouped package.

Salsa repository is at:
 https://salsa.debian.org/3v1n0-guest/node-esm2umd/-/tree/debian/latest

Please mark the debian/latest as default branch since I can't change it myself.

The package had a dependency on a very tiny project (esm2umd) that was
just basically a tiny wrapper to babel. I've also prepared the packaging
for it [1], but given that such project has not a clear license (I
mailed the maintainer meanwhile), I preferred to avoid using it, also
because it's really just a script using babel and I have been able to
easily re-implement it, making the build process slightly bigger

The package needs sponsor, since I'm only a maintainer, but I'll be
happy keeping the maintenance of it.

I've given access to the js salsa team.
