/usr/share/nodejs/eslint/lib/cli-engine/formatters/stylish is part of
eslint package.

The eslint package (build-depends and) *recommends* node-chalk.

This changelog entry seems relevant:

eslint (1.3.1~dfsg-3) experimental; urgency=medium

  * Fix install executable.
  * Add patch cherry-picked upstream to lazy-load rules.
    Relax to recommend (not depend on)
    node-chalk node-inquirer node-strip-ansi node-text-table.
    Fix explicitly depend on node-escape-string-regexp
    (previously pulled in by node-chalk).

I'm not able to determine if either enigmail should dep on node-chalk
itself because it uses supposedly optional components of eslint
or if there's a mistake in eslint which should have node-chalk
as a depends rather than recommends....

Hope someone else can figure this out.
