It is *not* sensible for Node.js packages to depend on nodejs, 
regardless of what is done in perl packages:

Package relations are directional, and libraries do not depend on their 
interpreter, it is the other way around: Scripts or other libraries 
loading a library (through their interpreter) depend on that library.
