We discussed lots of ways we could bundle small libraries together, but
there is no current way to monitor all of the upstream releases of
bundled packages to know when there is a new release, to manage package
dependency version constraints, and to prevent release critical bugs
removing the whole bundle regularly.

There is work going on to improve npm2deb to allow for tarballs to be
repacked to bundle closely related sub-modules (node_modules), and we
are working on the criteria to help make the choice:
https://github.com/LeoIannacone/npm2deb/issues/15

node-isarray is quite generic, and depended on by many other node
modules that are waiting to be packaged, so I don't believe it fits the
criteria for bundling as it stands at the moment.

Regards,

Ross
