# `uses-debhelper-compat-file`

This package declares its debhelper compatibility level with the `debian/compat` file.

The recommended way to do so is to use the virtual package `debhelper-compat` instead.

From debhelper 14 onward, using `debian/compat` will not work anymore.

As such, unless you need an experimental or beta compatibility level, please remove the `debian/compat` file and add the `debhelper-compat` virtual package to your Build-Depends, for example:

    Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
