Indeed,
You will want to use nodejs 16 from the master-16.x branch.
(it is a gbp layout with master-16.x / upstream-16.x/pristine-tar branches)

git-buildpackage node 16 in it.
You will probably need to use the "build profiles" documented
in debian/README.source.

Also later today i'll push latest 16.x upstream release in that branch.

Feel free to ask more questions.
