I am by no means making any claims about usage of node-sass by the end
users. My point was that codesearch.debian.net shows no hits, thus by
removing node-sass executable we are not breaking any other package in
Debian, what would be detrimental during the freeze. Sorry if I was not
clear enough.

My opinion is that shipping broken executable should be a
release-critical bug. Thus if we want to have node-node-sass package in
bullseye, we should either fix node-sass executable, or not ship it at all.

I suggest doing the same.
