Normal way is npm packages. I actually know nothing about npm internals, but from what I can see from the outside, I would not agree with you.
I did not provided npm with any kind of git:// url. I just gave a name matrix- appservice-irc and npm somehow came to an idea of fetching something using git. If it is its idea, not mine, I guess it should provide itself with all necessary means by itself. For me it should work like that: I install it, I give it a name, it fetches. That is user experience I would expect. Thats how I see it as an experienced debian user that has no knowledge about npm internals.
