Seeing as so many things depend on 'node' being the node.js interpreter, such as the npm package and the build system used by pdf.js, there really ought to be a prominent warning shown on installation that users probably want to symlinke /usr/local/bin/node to /usr/bin/nodejs.
The name conflict is a serious problem, but it would be much less serious if users were made aware of it.
