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 The CTTE decision in from 2012-07-12 in bug #614907 is repealed. 2.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.

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

Hi, Unfortunately the initial reassign message didn't make it to the debian-ctte list, so quoting it here for context: > 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'
