[Pkg-javascript-devel] NodeJS repository structure

Hello everybody,
still related to the whole lot of packages I'm uploading.

I noticed that we're putting libraries under /usr/lib/nodejs/, but there's also
a /usr/share/nodejs/ populated by nodejs-dev.

I've packaged libnode-sqlite3, which compiles a binding to libsqlite3-dev,
so /u/lib/ is its perfect place. But I'm wondering why we're putting also
arch-independent libraries in /u/lib/ ? Wouldn't it better to follow the
commonly used scheme of /u/share for arch-indep and /u/lib for arch-dep?

I haven't looked at nodejs code, but it doesn't seem too hard to implement,
given nodejs-dev already populates that directory.

What do you think about this?

Kindly,
David
