There is an orphaning bug [1] without an owner and ITP bug [2] owned by Pirate Praveen. I think I will merge these and close them with the upload.

Since there are no reverse dependencies on libjs-sockjs and we are not in a hurry with shiny-server (we can still work on that with local node-sockjs-client package), I would like to avoid experimental. This way I would not have to deal with Breaks+Replaces due to same locations occupied by two different packages.
