# `package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version`

This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer recommended. Please consider using the recommended level.

For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to specify `debhelper-compat (= X)` as a `Build-Depends` in `debian/control`. You can also use the `debian/compat` file or export DH_COMPAT in `debian/rules`.

If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is deprecated.

Severity: | `pedantic`
Experimental: | `false`
