The naming scheme used generally for JavaScript packages is to use
"node-*" for packages targeted system-installed Node.js interpreter, and
"libjs-*" for packages targeted browser-embedded JavaScript interpreter
(where * is the NPM project name when used, slightly normalized).

Packages that serve both roles should provide one of the package names
as a virtual package.

Reason it is suggested to rename here is exactly in case this particular
package does *not* serve both roles: Then the proper aproach is to
provide separate packages, appropriately named.

...but only if you go down the road of keeping the Node.js executables.

Thanks a lot for your work on these D3 packages!
