I had linked to an exact line of the sample configuration which you seem
to have missed.

 resolve: {
    modules: ['/usr/lib/nodejs', '.'],
  },
  resolveLoader: {
    modules: ['/usr/lib/nodejs'],
  },

webpack, like other node tools (grunt, gulp) does not recognize global
modules. So we need to provide this path manually. But we could make
this path default with a patch in debian like we did for grunt and gulp,
patches welcome.
