After a very long discussion it was referred to the technical committee and here is their resolution. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/07/msg00002.html1) Node.js is not run as "node" (which the buster.js package assumes). Instead it runs as nodejsUnfortunately, yes.
Seems like I can install nodejs-legacy to fix this - thanks for the link it has effectively solved this problem.
2) npm install -g installs the package in /usr/local/lib/node_modules rather than in /usr/lib/node_modules. There is a comment in the README.Debian of npm which cryptically mentions using npm link in the package directory, but I tried that and managed to apparently delete the package from /usr/local/lib/node_modulesSorry but I have no information on this point.
now that /usr/bin/node has been installed from nodejs-legacy (as a symlink to /usr/bin/nodejs) this part seems to work just fine
