Hi,

this is a test dependency, library can be built with "nocheck" without 
any nodejs dependency except nodejs itself (via pkg-js-tools).
There are many circular dependencies in node-* packages when building 
with test.

To avoid this, we can move test dependencies into 
debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-nodejs.conf and add an empty 
override_dh_auto_test.

I'm going to do that here.
