As we said repeatedly, we've been avoiding adding new packages to wheezy for a while now.I think that the point that Jonas is trying to make is that NodeJS isn'tnew, it's only new to wheezy, and only because of the name conflict.
"new to wheezy" is precisely what "new" means in the context of "adding new packages to wheezy".
The whole node vs. nodejs is not an excuse, let alone a reason, to diverge from the current practice, IMO.I don't think you'd be diverging in this case.
I think there may have been a misunderstanding somewhere.The current practice is not to add packages which aren't already in wheezy to the release. Unblocking nodejs involves adding a package which isn't already in wheezy to the release. I'm not sure how unblocking it would therefore be anything other than diverging from current practice.
