I find it appropriate to provide /usr/bin/node and then conflict with the ham tool providing same package.

The argument of "node" being a too generic word applies to the ham tool too, as well as to "less", "cat" and lots of other tools.

Thing is, a bunch of upcoming projects in the larger FLOSS community know the node.JS executable as "node" - the choise of package name in Debian is distracting here: Project name is "node.JS" with the core engine being "Node". Not "nodejs".

I therefore recommend us to simply change to _only_ providing "node" (not the current renaming to "nodejs") and do it now before too many packages and users apply ugly hacks to fit this Debian oddity.
