Thanks for your suggestion. I actually did follow those instructions to
attempt to build nodejs 18.13.0+dfsg1-1.

For nodejs 16.15.1+dfsg-1 following those instructions bootstraps the package
just fine, I think because the "externalized builtin" JS files are present in
the packaging.

I have attached the three patches to debian/ to get _something_ bootstrap for
18x but it still fails with the error "Cannot load externalized builtin" when
trying to launch bootstrapped node.

I build the package using debuild --no-lintian in a chroot. In the build
system I have no ability to build arch:all packages, just architecture
dependant packages.

Thanks!
