Dear Maintainer,
The new python3-playwright package does not work as expected. Running the
documented command to install browser binaries fails with a Node.js error:
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1386
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module '/usr/share/nodejs/playwright/cli.js'

Node.js v22.21.1
The path in the stack trace (/usr/share/nodejs/playwright/cli.js) does
not exist. Python Playwright is invoking the Node version of Playwright,
but the Debian package does not ship the corresponding Node module. As a
result, the primary command for fetching Playwright browsers cannot be
used.
Thanks for your work maintaining Playwright in Debian.
