libjs-* (but not node-*) code should be minified.

libjs-* (but not node-*) packages should recommend javascript-common.

node-* (but not libjs-*) packages should depend on nodejs.

...so even if code is identical, it seems better to me to ship as 
separate packages.

(I seem to recall that I've made that same Provides: hack, but don't 
recall which package it was - I should fix it there too).
