Vast majority of users would only install this via dependencies. It's hardly a node-specific problem that debian package searches output large amount of packages that are not useful unless you happen to be a programmer. The only people installing node libs directly would be node developers, for whom matching description with upstream project is valuable. If the description is not useful for developer either ( for example "Itty bitty little widdle twinkie pinkie" ), better propose the upstream project a more concise description, than to carry extra delta in debian.
