I know I can force compat level to 9 just like that. But what I want to 
know is how to make sure my building environment is up to that level. 
E.g., in a very old Debian system, e.g., potato, you can "set" debian/
compat to 9, but I don't think it will work. The requirement, that's what 
I'd like to know.
