I'm not entirely sure, but I _think_ this issue should be fixed with
some Breaks+Replaces relation and a quick search showed para 7.3.

Got an update to the above package version and that failed (initially):

Unpacking nodejs (12.22.10~dfsg-1) over (12.22.9~dfsg-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-aZNJZq/17-nodejs_12.22.10~dfsg-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
...
Current status: 1 (+1) broken, 1 (-39) upgradable.

Doing another 'aptitude safe-upgrade' run after that succeeded though.

Cheers,
