there are several frameworks that bring there own dependency management 
with it (go, node,  rust, ...).
Go also needs to fetch dependencies and maybe it is an idea to do the in 
a post-fetch step.

I and go is doing it be using something similar like this:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/devel/gitaly/Makefile#n60

Maybe this can be done in a similar way for npm?
