I must agree with you that `npm` is not the ideal packagemanager. ;-) There also seems to be `pip` installed for Python packages...
Is there a remote possibility that those packages would ever be offered via `apt-get` ? Problem is that even as the root user some things (I forget which) didn't work off the bat because of those broken ownerships. I ended up chowning them to root:root (for files in `/etc/`) and debian:debian for files in `/home/debian`.
