Following a conversation on IRC with mapreri last week I made the
changes below. They caused build failures in almost all test artifacts
on stable. The debian-compat (= 13) facility is not available.

Are you saying we could simply make the second change but not the
first? I am fine with that.

Please know, however, that mapreri asked for both. Debhelper compat
level 13 is now recommended.

09:19 < mapreri> P: django-housekeeping source:
package-uses-experimental-debhelper-compat-version 13
09:20 < mapreri> lechner: ↑ debhelper now recommends 13, please update
lintian :)

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
