The supported compat level is (roughly) the major version number of
debhelper. (Usually the previous major version supports an experimental
version of that compat level, but it hasn't been finalized.)
Therefore, for compat level 9, you need debhelper 9 or later, which means
stable or squeeze-backports (but not squeeze itself).
