Can you elaborate on the pros/cons you see?  AFAICT, pushing it all to
dh_systemd_* in compat 10 or compat 11 would "just work" for the
dh-sequencer (and we can have cdbs work as well).  For other uses, it is
just a question of documenting in the compat change (which may or may
not be an argument for pushing it to compat 11).
