And yet, a very simple application that *only* requests ‘backbone’
will fail to build with Webpack because Backbone tries to find jQuery.

In other words: The expectation is that installing Debian packages
‘webpack’ ands ‘node-backbone’ should allow the above application to
build with Webpack.

So, something is wrong with the Debian Backbone, or the Debian
Webpack, or something else.
