This is a known issue. And not one I'm willing to spend time on, since
there are no known users of the node-mapnik package.

The Mapnik ecosystem is quite fragile, with an upstream who relies on
mason builds (often from development branches), making packaging quite a
chore.

I think the node-mapnik package and its node-tilelive-* rdeps should be
removed from Debian (and by extension Ubuntu), and we should give up on
ever packaging kosmtik (#805308).

Kind Regards,

Bas
