Package: nodejs
Version: 0.2.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze
nodejs version 0.2.0 has its executable renamed to /usr/bin/nodejs [1],
and while it was all right for testing purposes, it is now not
acceptable :
* it will confuse users, and force them to add /usr/local/bin/node link
* nodejs is only useful with external modules, they won't work unless
that link is added.
Moreover, most external modules depend on version 0.2.6 (upstream stable
branch version), for that reason users will more likely use nodejs package
from testing or backports (actually experimental [2]).
Hence it is much more preferable to remove nodejs 0.2.0 from squeeze, instead
of having an unusable and confusing version.
Concerned source packages are "nodejs 0.2.0-1" and "coffeescript 0.7.0-1".
The maintainer Geza Kovacs of the latter has agreed upon removal of its
package from squeeze.

It's been resolved before squeeze release, hence closing.
