But it is not compatible with the new mapnik-reference:

 carto project.mml > style.xml
 /usr/lib/nodejs/carto/lib/carto/tree/reference.js:19
     if (mapnik_reference.version.hasOwnProperty(version)) {
                                 ^

Newer version of node-carto require unpackaged dependencies:

 npm2deb depends carto
 Dependencies:
 NPM                                       Debian
 carto (1.1.0)                             node-carto (0.9.5-2)

 Build dependencies:
 NPM                                       Debian
 coveralls (~3.0.0)                        node-coveralls (3.0.2-1)

 mocha-eslint (^4.0.0)                     None
 sax (~1.2.1)                              sax.js (1.2.4-2)

This has prevented updating node-carto, and by extension
openstreetmap-carto, for quite a while now.

If this situation doesn't change during the bullseye development cycle,
the openstreetmap-carto package will be removed from Debian.

Kind Regards,

Bas
