# `uses-debhelper-compat-file`

This package uses a `debian/compat` file to denote the required debhelper compatibility number.

However, debhelper has replaced `debian/compat` with the `debhelper-compat` virtual package for most circumstances.

Packages not using an experimental or beta compatibility level should Build-Depend on the `debhelper-compat` virtual package, for example:

    Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)

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