Given I hadn't found any policy about this, I went "by heart" about package
naming.
I called libnode-* those libraries I thought were node-specific, and libjs-*
those which could be of general usage (example: libjs-backbone).

Still, I'm not satisfied by the approach I'm taking, and would prefer a more
objective guideline :)
