Changes:
 node-jquery (3.5.1+dfsg+~3.5.4-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload.
 .
   * link eack file (not dir) for package libjs-jquery
     to ease use e.g. with apt-file or dh-linktree

This gives a hint ...

apparently this version tries to fix a broken dir/symlink conversion or vice
versa in some previous upload.

so this is an upgrade issue, you can't see it with new installs.
