Bug: Different file (/usr/share/nodejs/react-is/index.js ) contents when installing via "apt install" and build from source, install package. about react

Why in the world are you trying to install React as a Linux package?

Also, the React team is definitely not responsible for any repackaging of React into a Linux package - they only publish to NPM.

Checked on Debian12. Content of the file is same after install from source.
Some output:
$ cat /usr/share/nodejs/react-is/index.js
'use strict';

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
module.exports = require('./cjs/react-is.production.min.js');
} else {
module.exports = require('./cjs/react-is.development.js');
}
$ sudo dpkg -i ./node-react_18.2.0+dfsg+~cs87.31.26-4_all.deb

Thank you for answering.

I install it as a package because in Ubuntu it comes as a *.deb file and therefore it is possible to install it separately as a package and build from source.

I see contacts of maintainers of the package. So I'll write them.
