Maybe you should try nave or nvm instead in production.

At least that's what I'm doing in several production env. There are some
apps needing old node versions and need to be installed on the same
machine, so nave is my way to go and I wouldn't install nodejs from
Debian, ever.

PS1: And now that I'm writing this I may consider packaging nave for Debian.

PS2: Please, don't take this email as "nodejs should be removed, is not
useful", but as a personal advice based on my experience while using
node, very similar to my experience using ruby and gems (never installed
debian's gems).
