node.js - How can I declare in Debian Package Control file that my package depends an global installed nodejs package(http-server)

Question

I'm recently publishing my self-made packages in my own repo.

One of my package requires http-server, which is a nodejs package, to be installed globally.

However, it's apparent that, I can't declare this dependency in the Depends: or Pre-Depends: line of the deb control file.

I know I can just let the user run sudo npm i http-server -g, but I want to know if there is an elegant way to automatically do it.
