  Description     : a JS code coverage tool written in JS

Yet another code coverage tool for Javascript, with the
following features:
 * All-javascript instrumentation library that tracks statement,
   branch, and function coverage and reverse-engineers line
   coverage with 100% fidelity.
 * Module loader hooks to instrument code on the fly
 * Command line tools to run node unit tests "with coverage
   turned on" and no cooperation whatsoever from the test runner
 * HTML and LCOV reporting.
 * Ability to use as middleware when serving JS files that need
   to be tested on the browser.
 * Can be used on the command line as well as a library
 * Based on the awesome esprima parser and the equally awesome
   escodegen code generator
 * Well-tested on node 0.4.x, 0.6.x, 0.8.x and the browser
   (instrumentation library only)

Istanbul has a number of dependencies, most of them already in Debian.
Still missing: esprima, escodegen, fileset, js-yaml.
