Description

I'm wondering if recent packages for ubuntu focal are missing the link from 'nodejs' to /usr/bin/node ?
When installing via
sudo apt install nodejs
there ist no 'nodejs' in /usr/bin PATH.
The respective Debian Buster package does link to the Alternatives instead:

pi@raspberrypi:/opt/iobroker $ ls -la /usr/bin/nodejs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 12 11:14 /usr/bin/nodejs -> /etc/alternatives/nodejs pi@raspberrypi:/opt/iobroker $ ls -la /etc/alternatives/nodejs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 12 11:14 /etc/alternatives/nodejs -> /usr/bin/node

Shouldn't there be a nodejs in /usr/bin for ubuntu/focal too?
