Yadd closed this with the following remark: > Since 26.6.3+ds+~cs64.28.30-3, node-jest builds 3 binary packages to > reduce dependencies size eslint 5.16.0~dfsg+~4.16.8-7 depends on node-natural-compare which is clearly *not* separated from the pile of jest libraries: eslint has exploded to depend on 120 packages (where only 1 is truly needed, since node-natural-compare itself should have zero dependencies).
