Dear Gianfranco,
Thank you for the review. I have increased dh compat to 9 and refactored the patches.
I have reviewed all of the other _javascript_ packages I am aware of which use GYP (node-contextify, node-groove, node-leveldown, node-postgres, node-sqlite3, node-stringprep, node-ws, node-zlib, node-expat, node-iconv, node-mapnik, node-raptor, node-srs and node-zipfile) and they all seem to work in this way, with the exception of node-ws, in which case upstream includes a Makefile which includes similar commands. Debhelper doesn't currently have a "--with gyp" option as far as I know, so I can't see how this can be simplified? Please can you make some suggestions?
