Ok, but from my previous setup, connect-form is installed in
~/.node-modules, where the index.js loads stuff from ~/.npm.
At the moment, it seems even that I can require the connect-form library,
but using it gives the error below.

Do you suggest/imply to manually get a newer connect-form and put it
manually in ./node_modules and remove ~/.npm and ~/.node_libraries?

I could also package the library, as there is no node form processing
library in Debian yet.  How do I go about it?  I only found a Javascript
