I agree these should be added for native modules:
/usr/share/node_modules -> /usr/share/nodejs
and for binary modules:
/usr/lib/$(arch_triplet)/node_modules -> /usr/lib/$(arch_triplet)/nodejs
The case of a binary module importing a native module is trickier.
I think the javascript part of those modules should stay in
/usr/share/nodejs,
and the actual compiled binary file be stored in
/usr/lib/$(arch_triplet)/nodejs.
That way only the "binary loading" paths need a patch - which is expected,
since
debian already is patching nodejs to get the correct paths from arch
triplet.
