The primary issue here is that there's simply no dependency on node-playwright in this package (also filed as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-playwright/+bug/2143633 before realizing it was actually a problem in Debian too.)
It's *also* a problem (1129581) that Debian's node-playwright is too old, so it might be accurate to have the dependency be versioned - https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python/issues/2130 suggests that the main problem is on the 1.38→1.39 upgrade boundary, but there are probably others, and that ticket suggests keeping them in sync.
