It says "Note that this option applies to protocol version 1 only", so
to enable this option you'd need to install openssh-client-ssh1 and to
use the "ssh1" binary.  Protocol 2 compression doesn't support different
compression levels.

(Are you sure that you still need this, though?  You should be using
protocol 2 unless you have absolutely no choice.  Maybe this is just a
leftover in your configuration file.)
