Welcome Dmitry,

i'm not convinced
/usr/lib/nodejs/smash.js
/usr/lib/nodejs/smash/smash.js

is a nice layout for a node module, please consider this instead:

Usually, what i do now when upstream has a non-straightforward layout,
i keep it untouched and put package.json and the other needed files
in the path, into /usr/lib/nodejs/smash/
That way nodejs will find
/usr/lib/nodejs/smash/package.json
and be able to require the module from there, without needing a patch.
As a bonus, require("package.json").version will work and won't need
to be fixed either.

i hope that helps,

Jérémy.
