Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of nodejs the autopkgtest of node-iconv-lite fails
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
nodejs from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
nodejs                 from testing    12.18.0~dfsg-3
node-iconv-lite        from testing    0.5.1-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of nodejs to testing
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the
bug to the right package?
