Perhaps rename both, also provide symlinks
/usr/share/nodejs/node -> /usr/bin/nodejs and
/usr/share/ax25node/node -> /usr/sbin/ax25node, and users who(se local
scripts) expect to just run 'node' can add either /usr/share/nodejs or
/usr/share/ax25node to their $PATH?
See also nmh, which adds a large number of generically-named binaries
(post, show, send, pick, mark, etc.) to a directory that's not in the
default $PATH, so its users can add that directory to their $PATH.
