After a quick IRC discussion, debian/nodejs/<component>/nolink  will be
replaces by a debian/nodejs/component_links to list components that
needs another (for build, test,...), only main node_modules links will
be created automatically. Example:

  # debian/nodejs/component_links
  requireoptional   bson

will create a link from ../../requireoptional/ to
bson/node_modules/require_optional

Then debian/nodejs/<component>/nolink will list only components that
must not be linked in main node_modules/ directory
