Hi,

when using tsc, if /usr/share/nodejs/foo is linked in
debian/nodejs/extlinks and requires another file linked in
debian/nodejs/extlinks, this fails because tsc search a "node_modules"
directory starting from /usr/share/nodejs/foo (see typescript bug
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/33661).

To avoid this, use debian/nodejs/extcopies.
