This is how dh_auto_install works: when there is more than 1 package, it
installs files in debian/tmp, then dh_install picks these files from
debian/tmp to store into debian/<package> (one arg per line) or in
source directory (two args per line). In this case, you can use a
debian/node-foo.install like this:

  # debian/node-arch-indep.install
  usr/share/nodejs/foo/

  # debian/node-arch-dep.install
  usr/lib/*/nodejs/foo/

  # debian/libjs.install
  dist/* usr/share/javascript/foo/

You can see an example in node-clean-css (not published but ready for
pkg-js-tools >= 0.8.7).

Other tip for dh_links with a arch-dep package:

  # debian/node.foo.links
  usr/lib/*/nodejs/foo/bin/cli.js  usr/bin/foo
