Not sure but I did find this summary of the problem on the debian lists: * the nodejs upstream binary is called "node", and the upstream developers have refused to change it's binary name to nodejs for debian; * The the hamradio package "node" shipping a binary called "node", and as it's so old, the developers argue that the package must ship a binary called "node" or breakage will occur. * The reason the nodejs developers want to ship the binary as "node" is because all programs written for nodejs have /usr/bin/node in it's shebang So I think the summary of the summary is this: Both packaging "camps" have demonstrated a lack of interest in letting the other use the name "node", which means some compromise needs to be found.
