For this one it seems the master branch has some commits targeting
experimental (4.3.0+dfsg-1 and 3.9.3+dfsg-1) that have not made it to to
sid yet:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-javascript/node-lodash.git/tree/debian/changelog

My intention was to apply the patch and close
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=841698 with the most
limited changes possible, i.e. 2.4.1+dfsg-3 -> 2.4.1+dfsg-4

This guarantees that it does not get kicked out of testing on
2016-12-05, whether we manage to do the maneuver you describe by that
date, or not.

The patch can be also applied to the master branch so that it's there
when work on 4.3.0+dfsg-x resumes.

Please let me know if this has any value.

OK thanks for the suggestion and the patience.

BTW it all stated when I wanted to scratch my itch (getting apt-get
install atom to work in stretch, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=747824#98) we'll see
where this takes me !
