I have merged all the previous stretch-backports commits, and rebased
the backport onto the latest version in testing.

Unfortunately, I get the same issue as before, and it won't build for
me. Firstly, you have to use "--git-no-pristine-tar" as pristine tar
doesn't seem to play well with pkg-components. Then, the build fails
with (tail of buildlog):

dh binary
   dh_testroot
   dh_prep
   debian/rules override_dh_install
make[1]: Entering directory '/build/node-tar-4.4.6+ds1'

Any ideas?
