Absolutely. There are potentially some packages that use DH_COMPAT to set their compat level, rather than debian/compat; this makes it unnecessarily hard to determine what level is being used. Also, it means that a naive new debhelper user gets compat 1, the worst possible choice, by default. My plan is to make debhelper fail with no debian/compat, so a naive user is forced to pick one. Other packages will use "DH_COMPAT=N dh_foo" in order to avoid some compat level change. Not my favorite thing since it makes grepping for usage of old compat levels, but still ok to do. -- see shy jo
