Package: emacs
Version: 1:26.3+1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to use emacs-vterm [1] fails in Debian Emacs because it's not built
with modules support [2] (i.e. module-file-suffix is nil).

I rebuilt the package myself with the `--with-modules' configure flag
and it works as expected. Could you apply this patch?

Thanks,
Nick
