Dear Maintainer,

I tried to build node-xterm from sources in Debian Bookworm.
I created new VM from official Debian vagrant image:
https://app.vagrantup.com/debian/boxes/bookworm64/versions/12.20240503.1

Then I upgraded OS in VM using "apt update" and "apt upgrade", rebooted VM.

Then I installed build deps for package node-xterm with "apt build-dep node-xterm".
Then I downloaded sources of package node-xterm using command "apt source node-xterm".
Version "3.8.1+~cs0.9.0-1" was downloaded.
Then I entered into directory with sources and ran "dpkg-buildpackage". You can see log of dpkg-buildpackage here:
