First off, louischatriot kudos to you for building this. Building embedded DB's is fun and worthwhile. The fact I'm not a JS fan doesn't diminish that value to me.
While I understand that packaging motivation; it seems to me to be less relevant due to msi/rpm/deb packages. Those technologies make it pretty easy to package an application built with heterogeneous components.
It's true that it's easy to package such applications for unix systems, but it's much harder on Windows. What makes Node Webkit great is the fact that it's cross-platform with very little pain, and in that case having the DB in the JS code makes packaging a breeze.
