Dear Maintainer,

When trying to upgrade libnode72 from 12.22.10~dfsg-2 to
12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u1, dpkg complains about the following file, wich is also
found in package nodejs 16.15.1+dfsg-1, trying to be overwritten:

/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp

This is an excerpt from dpkg output, showing the error:

Unpacking libnode72:amd64 (12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u1) over (12.22.10~dfsg-2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/libnode72_12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp', which is also in
package nodejs 16.15.1+dfsg-1
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libnode72_12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u1_amd64.deb


Thank you very much,
Best Regards,
Jonas.

Indeed, in nodejs/bookworm, the

"Breaks libnode72 << 12.22.10" 

no longer applies to the version of nodejs/bullseye-security, which is 12.22.12.

Having both libnodeXX and libnodeYY allows smoother transitions to testing,

but  that will not work with libnode72 -> libnodeYY.

To be sure it goes well with bullseye - bookworm upgrade, next upload of

nodejs/bookworm will Break: libnode72 (<< 13)

Meanwhile, just remove libnode72
