Not sure what I'm missing as the dependency on nodejs no longer exists, see [1]:
Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)
Build-Depends-Arch:
, dh-cmake-compat (=1)
, dh-cmake
, cmake
, libllhttp-source (>= 9.3~),
, libllhttp-source (<< 9.4~)
Build-Depends-Indep:
, dh-nodejs
, binaryen
, clang
, libclang-rt-dev-wasm32
, lld (>= 1:16)
, node-debug
, node-markdown-it (>= 22.2.3+dfsg+~12.2.3-2~) <!nocheck>
, node-semver
, node-typescript
, ts-node
, wasi-libc
and:

NodeJS is just required for the arch:all package.
