That's a fair questions: autopkgtest has its own set of dependencies 
which might hide this issue.

I tried above command just now (inside another chroot), and it failed:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:968
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'semver'

  requireStack: [
    '/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/unsupported.js',
    '/usr/share/npm/bin/npm-cli.js'
  ]
}

The package node-semver _was_ installed.

Installing npm into a clean pbuilder chroot (either sid or bullseye) and 
running "npm --version" does not fail, however.
