[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#837929: npm: Should suggest nodejs-legacy

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: npm
Version: 1.4.21+ds-2
Severity: wishlist

Executables installed with npm need the /usr/bin/node executable, which
is provided in the nodejs-legacy package. This information is currently
only in the README.Debian file. I think it would be really helpful to
add nodejs-legacy to the npm package's Suggests:, or even Recommends:. 

Regards,
Matijs
