Wrong. nodejs's maintainer wants to rename "bin/nodejs" to "bin/node"…
that's why there was the discussion on debian-hams. (But then, whether the
rename is appropriate is another story… IMO, it's not appropriate because
the name is too generic. And as Ian already pointed out, even "node"
should be renamed).

$ dpkg -L nodejs | grep bin/
/usr/bin/nodejs
