Because kosmtic (#805308) also requires node-mapnik, removing it from Debian will make packaging that even more painful.
Right now I would say the problem with node-mapnik and related packages is that there's no real way to use the Debian packages.* Kosmtik would give them a purpose.
* By this I mean if I want to install something that depends on node-mapnik with npm, I can't figure out a way to use the system node-mapnik.
