I double-checked hier(7) and file-hierarchy(7), and `/var/lib` is indeed
reserved for library state files, not a private "lib" namespace. Oops, thanks!

I would like to avoid confusion as much as possible.
Looking at that, I would naively assume that the `node_modules_shared`
is in the npm import search path, which it is not.
The same reasoning applies to why I just do not turn the unversioned
`node_modules` to a proper directory instead of symlink.

Given the above, now I'm thinking about something like `/usr/lib/nodejs`
with possible suffix/subdir ({`-shared`/`-private`/`-22`/…}).
It does not suggest being a part of the npm search path,
looks flexible enough and should be compliant with FHS.
