Fair point.

  3. Once a new nodejs package providing /usr/bin/node is in the
     archive, other packages in the archive are free to depend on the
     nodejs package and use /usr/bin/node .

It doesn't need to per se.  We could probably get away with just
repealing the previous resolution since there's nothing else providing
/usr/bin/node, nodejs would be free to do so.  However, I'm asking if it
would make sense to add it to add clarity, or if it actually muddles the
water.
