Jérémy Lal was active in gettin Nodejs into Debian. I helped out a bit. 
Mid 2010 Jérémy was [concerned] that the "node" executable conflicted 
with another package, but early 2011 I treated it as a [harmless] issue 
and thought I treated it cleverly.

I was [wrong] - it became a [major] issue with the technical committee 
[ruling] that my clever move be [reverted].  That ruling took roughly a 
month which made it [too late] for Wheezy.

First Debian release with Node.js was Jessie, 3 years later.
