@types/debug as a devDependency

[jmendiara]

Currently, in package.json...

  "dependencies": {
    "@types/debug": "^4.0.0",
    "debug": "^4.0.0"
  },

Is @types/debug a needed dependency, or could be moved to devDependencies ?

Having it in dependencies causes @types/debug to be installed in production builds, and the package is just typescript typings that are not needed in runtime

I guess you are saying that having in dependencies is intended. Closing
