Sometime before home-assistant 0.72 they broke the project into two
repositories.

https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant

Which is the pure python server component, and 

https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer

Which contains the front end.

I made a javascript nodejs task page for the current state of
dependencies for upstream's version 20180608.0b0.

https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/home-assistant-polymer

For what its worth it look it looks like most of the nodejs
dependencies are from a couple of large javascript library collections.

Also there might be some value in packaging the pure python component
even without the full frontend as it also contains their client api
library for interacting with a home-assistant server.
