[Pkg-javascript-devel] must node-* packages depend on nodejs or not?

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Today changes was made to several node-* packages, dropping their 
dependency on nodejs.

Perl libraries must depend on perl.

Python3 libraries must depend on python3.

It is my understanding that nodejs libraries currently follow same 
logic.

If I am mistaken, then what is the policy for Nodejs libraries?

Should we change policy?  If so, why?

Not why sloppy package relations might be convenient (e.g. when 
targeting both nodejs and browser use in same binary package), but why 
is it reasonable that we switch to a more sloppy policy?

If it is not reasonable, then please revert those changes, Praveen.
