Running npm install before building has several disadvantages:
Takes a long time which makes build-dep step more annoying
Makes it impossible to properly isolate builds
Can not be configured per-package
May be causing rebuild issues
It's an ugly exception in the architecture
Describe the solution you'd like
What we wanted to achieve - downloading dependencies - should be achievable using npm cache add. We can build it later with npm install
Describe alternatives you've considered
We could get rid of vendoring completely but that would mean perfect build isolation is impossible
We could hand-vendor the dependencies (e.g. as Debian packages) - very time-consuming even though also very clean.
