* I wonder, broadcom-sta has seen quite some uploads the last couple of
years and debhelper is even in oldstable newer than the version
mentioned. How were all these uploads possible?

* What is/was the behavior of debhelper if the compat level was not
specified? In the freeze we don't want debhelper compat bumps unless the
package is proven to have no delta regardless of the old-vs-new level.
