I worked on it quite a bit during my +1 maintenance shift a couple weeks ago. It has indeed been a huge mess, but it has definitely gotten a lot better. Looks to me like there's just three problems remaining for nodejs itself: a. The main remaining issue is that for three of the packages there is a bug on pcc64el with SHA1 encryption[1], which osomon has been working on, and found to be due to a compiler optimization error. He forwarded it upstream[2] and yesterday upstream provided a patch to test[3]. So this looks like it's on a path to be solved soon. b. Another three packages appear to be hitting timeouts on autopkgtests, for arm64 only. Their test histories look like they mostly fail with scattered random passes. Maybe a flaky test? Maybe re-running it a few times will resolve them? c. node-clean-css is the only other failure. It occurs only on armhf and only for a single test case. It doesn't print any details about what the test case was or how it failed. In addition to nodejs itself, many node-* packages need rebuilt or retriggered. I did a bunch of these on my shift but we're getting additional ones syncing from Debian. So, nodejs feels reasonably close, and moving from nodejs 10 to 12 would be a big improvement for users.
