Not speaking for Isaac here, but npm doesn't seem like a really great tool for deployment. I guess when I've handled this in the past, the way I've done it is to make my apps self-bootstrapping or done it through scripts outside the deployment tool.
But I do apologize for not noticing the distinction between app deployment and module publishing.
