The fix is to delete the build directory:

moon@clymene:/var/www/node-bitcoin-p2p$ sudo rm -r node_modules/leveldb/build/
moon@clymene:/var/www/node-bitcoin-p2p$ cd node_modules/leveldb/
moon@clymene:/var/www/node-bitcoin-p2p/node_modules/leveldb$ sudo node-waf configure build

You can try changing the .npmignore entry from build to build/, but I've found that even then NPM is pretty wonky about randomly including stuff. My advice is to just make a habit of rm -r build before npm publish.
