So, upstream is not being very helpful here:
http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/12a673a14838aa9a#

Is this a blocker? Would it make sense to persuade the other package's upstream
to change their executable name? That could be easier, since that's not an
interpreter so is likely to be embedded in smaller number of scripts. Also it
probably did not gain very wide adoption due state of their development, here's
an excerpt from their README:

  This is a simple node frontend for Linux kernel AX.25, NETROM,
  ROSE and TCP. It's based on pms.c by Alan Cox (GW4PTS) but has been
  heavily modified since. It's probably not very well tested, not
  pretty, not very flexible and it is certainly not ready! However
  I think it's already somewhat usable.
