Hmm, in this case, since upstream seems to be ignoring my pull request,
maybe I will

 * rename the module to a better fork name (as I did with formidable ->
multiparty)
 * add new node module to debian
 * update packages to depend on new module
 * delete node-findit from debian since nothing depends on it
