That makes me very sad. I hope that sanity can be restored to NodeJS,
but with such a fundamental breakage I don't see it any time soon.

Thank you for explaining.

No, grunt upstream does not support loading tasks from a global path and plugin 
packages cannot fix this. Its against nodejs culture of forcing local 
dependencies.

This will have to be a feature we add to debian's grunt. It already has some 
basic support and has scope for improvement.

So the Debian packages install the plug-ins, in such a way that it
doesn't work by default with Debian-packaged ‘grunt’?

That seems like a bug in packaging those Debian package. Which package –
‘grunt’ or the plug-in packages – should I report a Debian BTS bug for?

Hi Ben,

This tripped me up too when packaging something that needed the
system-wide installed Tasks.

See if this helps:
