Yeah, this is indeed not nice, but there is nt much we can do for now.

If we get a good nderstanding of how npm-based pacages work, then we can
look into introducing a download post-processing script, like we have
for go and cargo, where the vendoring is done as part of the download
step.

But I don't think I could spot a similar (mis)feature in npm...

Yann E. MORIN.
