Hi Julien,

On my system I get

giacomo <at> frarch /tmp$ npm i semver
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 
'/tmp/package.json'

so I believe that npm uses the "files" key [0] in package.json to decide 
what to install.

I'm definitely available to implement that but it could take a week or 
two, if we feel it should be changed right away I'm probably not the 
best person to do that.

What do you think? Should I open another issue about this?

Giacomo
