Here is a little script to find this list (240 packages)

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use Dpkg::IPC;
  our @LIST = (
    'node-rollup', 'node-babel7', 'node-buble', 'grunt',
    'node-gulp',   'node-webpack', 'node-gyp',
  );
  my %res;
  foreach my $builder (@LIST) {
     my ($out);
     spawn(
        exec            => [ 'reverse-depends', '-b', "src:$builder" ],
        error_to_string => \$out,
        wait_child      => 1,
        no_check        => 1,
     );
     $out =~ s/Reverse-Test.*?\n(\S|$)/$1/sg;
     my @pkgs = ( $out =~ /\*\s+(\S+)/g );
     $res{$_} = 1 foreach (@pkgs);
  }
  {
     local $, = "\n";
     print( sort keys %res );
  }
  print "\n";
