The binary package node-d3 depends on nodejs.

Dependencies are directional: Packages with code that _calls_ other code
should depend on the package providing that other code, but packages
providing code _called_ from other code should *not* declare a
dependency.

It seems the package node-d3 contains only library code, no executables,
and it is therefore highly unlikely that the dependency is needed.

Concretely the depenency is painful when using the library code with
other JavaScript interpreters, most notably loading the code int a
web browser.

Please drop the dependency unless really needed.

(...and do so for all other node-d3* packages as well)

node-d3 is supposed to be required from nodejs,
isn't libjs-d3 meant to be used for browsers ?

Quoting Jérémy Lal (2022-04-09 16:07:50)

A node-* package can provide a libjs-* package.

Regardless of interpreters the code is usable for, it is still wrong to
declare a dependency on the/an interpreter: Wrong direction!
