This is present in the debdiff:
diff -Nru /tmp/cmWaq0sk4n/rggobi-2.1.4-2/debian/compat /tmp/jsOBhqjdsu/rggobi-2.1.4-4/debian/compat
--- /tmp/cmWaq0sk4n/rggobi-2.1.4-2/debian/compat 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000
+5
The default when no compat level is specified is 1, not 5. So this one line
can have a very significant impact on the package, and it can be very
difficult to trace all the effects -- hence, not something the release team
likes to have changed during a freeze.
