I tested the reverse (build) dependencies and this is the result.

rebuild      eonasdan-bootstrap-datetimepicker ... PASS
autopkgtest  fonts-font-awesome                ... PASS
rebuild      jupyter-notebook                  ... PASS
rebuild      node-katex                        ... PASS
autopkgtest  python-livereload                 ... PASS
rebuild      twitter-bootstrap3                ... PASS
rebuild      twitter-bootstrap4                ... PASS

browserpass used a hardcoded path instead of /usr/bin/lessc and it 
failed

make -C src LESSC=/usr/lib/nodejs/less/bin/lessc css/popup.dist.css 
css/options.dist.css

node-bootstrap-tour, searx, roundcube and roundcube-plugins-extra 
rebuild failed - missing dependency on node-clone in node-less binary.

oca-core autopkgtest failed but it is not clear why (should retry).

rainloop failed with

possibly need to update gulp-less.
