For the benefit of other attendees:

If you installed nodejs/npm from Debian/Ubuntu packages (which still 
seem to be node 4 AFAICT), then (as mentioned in the link you found) 
also installing the *nodejs-legacy* package 
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/nodejs-legacy) is another way to get 
that symlink created (and IIRC that symlink is about the only thing 
contained in that *nodejs-legacy* package; this is a relatively old 
Debian/Ubuntu change due to a binary name conflict: see 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/07/msg00002.html and 
bugs.debian.org/614907).
