debhelper 9 is already in debian stable (wheezy).  It is also in
squeeze-backports (which we can treat as part of oldstable), and is
trivially easy to install for anyone building a backport.

At this point, debhelper 9 seems like a reasonable level to aim for.  I
don't think changing the packaging to accomodate people who develop on
pure squeeze is a good idea.
