Depends on the package.  I've been updating a few to debhelper compat 9
recently.  For drivers however, at least when using dh_auto_configure,
that requires overriding its multiarch libdir setting to keep things
under /usr/lib/xorg/modules.  But there's no specific reason to avoid
bumping to 9 AFAIK.
