If you don't use compat 5 features, you can stick to 4, no problem.  On
the other hand, how is your package going to get to sarge users?  I
guess through backports, and then you can build it in a sarge-backports
environment, and debhelper 5 is available there.

IMO Alexander was wrong here.  There's no field for sponsors.  Either
the package is team-maintained by the debian-games list (however it is
called), then the list address should be in the maintainer field, with
the people who mostly care about it (DDs or non-DDs) in the Uploaders:
Field.  Or it is maintained only by you, or you and a couple of people
without connection to such a list.  Then you should be in the Maintainer
field, and the possible others (or nobody) in the Uploaders field. 

See the Debian Policy on that.
