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

Emacs is now build with module support (I did not check when the change
happened) and vterm works fine with Debian testing and unstable.
See also https://bugs.debian.org/1005080
IMHO, this bug can be closed.
