Yes, it seems it's mainly the modules that provide an executable script that need nodejs-legacy (In my case, coffeelint).

I read through bug 614907, and I think the very best solution would be for npm to ensure the correct node executable is referenced in each package's executable. I don't know how feasible that would be.

Package: npm Version: 1.4.21+ds-2 Severity: wishlist Executables installed with npm need the /usr/bin/node executable, which is provided in the nodejs-legacy package. This information is currently only in the README.Debian file. I think it would be really helpful to add nodejs-legacy to the npm package's Suggests:, or even Recommends:.
