If the package is useful, I don't see much of a problem if it migrated to testing.
But I agree that it makes sense to contact upstream to ask if they would include vega-embed in the monorepo as well.

Or one work around (meanwhile to buy time) could be to include vega-embed inside say, debian/resources

And do something like:

execute_before_dh_auto_configure:
        cp -a debian/resources $(CURDIR)/packages


And so this would help get vega-embed as well.
Or in the worst case scenario, we could package node-vega-embed as a different source package.

Let me know what you think, and also, this conversation should not be happening in the -med@ mailing list.

Please consider sending query about this to the pkg-javascript-devel mailing list instead, since there are people who are specifically involved with JS stuff; even the vega.js maintainer would be easy to reach out.
