NodeJS ships without corepack and suggests npm

[Oliver Salzburg]

This is in reference to corepack: https://github.com/nodejs/corepack

Users who install a modern version of NodeJS expect to have corepack available to interact with the package managers of their projects. The nodejs package does not ship with corepack and instead suggests to install npm, which is only one the package managers people use with NodeJS. corepack is intended to bridge the gap between NodeJS and several package managers.

The documentation at https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v18.x/api/corepack.html also states that corepack is shipped with NodeJS. The way the package is currently distributed conflicts with the documented and advertised feature set.

This is due to a lack of time.
I'll look into adding corepack support into debian nodejs 18.x

Okay, awesome. I thought it might have gone unnoticed. Thanks :)
