Hi,

i've setup a specific salsa ci pipeline for this:
https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/nodejs/-/pipelines/358409

As you can see, it has jobs for rebuilding reverse build-depends.
It is not meant to be triggered continuously (because it consumes a lot
of resources),
one has to trigger it by hand, which I have done just before.

I'd extend the list of jobs to the list of 1677 source packages
build-depending on nodejs, but
it might consume too much time and space on salsa-ci...
1. Although it runs jobs serially, it might store a lot of artifacts.
2. I would like to not rebuild chromium, firefox, thunderbird.
