that's the most reasonable thing to do now considering how much efforts 
it takes to match the npm package versions that actually are able to 
resolve to single set of packages.

  i.e foo 1.0 is satisified by all depenendcies, as usually pkg2 
requires foo < 1.0 and pkg3 > 1.0 so you need to have two versions of 
foo package.

but, it must be subpackage, not part of nodejs package. %package -n npm 
as it's highly optional for running nodejs apps.
