How about this:
1. The CTTE decision in from 2012-07-12 in bug #614907 is repealed.
2. The nodejs package shall be free to provide /usr/bin/node.
Eventually, packages which use node.js will use /usr/bin/node,
and the nodejs-legacy package will become obsolete, and be
removed.

Fair point.
3. Once a new nodejs package providing /usr/bin/node is in the
archive, other packages in the archive are free to depend on the
nodejs package and use /usr/bin/node .
That should probably be a versioned Depends, at least

I think that Severity:Wishlist is too low for this. I was writing up a
bug report to argue that /usr/bin/nodejs should be renamed back to
/usr/bin/node, before I found this thread where apparently that was
already decided, and I found that nearly every major Javascript
project has at least one entr

Hi,

Control: retitle -1 Rename nodejs back to node for buster, now that
ax25-node has been removed?
Dear tech-ctte,
In 2012, the decision was made to rename Node.js' "node" name to
nodejs-legacy, and transition the existing "node" package to ax25-node.
However, ax25-nod
