They have been, at least on Debian Buster for amd64 and armhf architectures. Just checked.

The Install script doesn't update minor version of nodejs. If you have a Pi2 or 3 then usual `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` should do it as all we do is install the sources into /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. For Pi0 and Pi1 (arm6) you may need to `sudo rm /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/npm` to remove (or hide) the existing nodejs then re-run our script which will then unpack the new version over the old one.

I solved this by logging into the container as root user:  
`docker exec -it -user root <container-ID> /bin/bash`  
and the ran:  
`npm i npm -g`

It worked just fine.
