I recommend adding something like the following to section A.3.1 of the
developer's reference:

   When choosing a debhelper compatibility level for your package, you
   should choose the highest compatibility level that is supported in
   the most recent stable release.  Only use a higher compatibility
   level if you need specific features that are provided by that
   compatibility level that are not available in earlier levels.

This is based on a mailing list discussion arising out of my suggestion
that someone for whom I was sponsoring package uploads change the
debhelper compatibility level to the newest (6).
