Asking our ftpmasters:
10:36 < lucas> Ganneff/tomv_w: is it recommended to set debian/compat to
7, or to stay at 6, for new packages?
10:37 < pusling> stay at 5 ?
10:37 < Ganneff> stay at what is in etch if you dont need more and love
backporters.
10:37 < tomv_w> lucas: as far as we are concened, it doesn't matter
10:37 < Ganneff> go higher if you hate the world or really need some new
feature. DO NOT if you dont really need it.
10:37 < Ganneff> for the archive itself it doesnt matter
