The fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nodejs/+bug/1779863
is, not surprisingly, somewhat traumatic for some users.

In my case, installing libssl1.0-dev causes libcurl4-openssl-dev, libssh-dev, and libssl-dev to be uninstalled, which makes some of our internal packages fail to build.

Commenting out universe from bionic-updates in /etc/apt/sources.list would work around this, but that's not going to fly for everybody.

nodejs appears to be the tail wagging the dog now, and that's rather uncomfortable.
