Correct.

I think we should at least do it for the LTS releases (E.G. now).

I don't know much about nodejs. What do other distibutions / build
systems do? We already have precedent in E.G. the gtk/freedesktop stack
(gtk/glib/gstreamer/..) where we don't package the uneven (development)
versions.

Yes, please!
