I'd suggest you build twice, once with the old compat level and once
with the new compat level, then use diffoscope to compare the binary
packages between the two builds. Then do the same for one of the
reverse dependencies.

Use ratt to rebuild all the reverse dependencies and then run all the
autopkgtests using the rebuilt .deb files.
