Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.86
Severity: normal

The following IMHO fully valid and not accidentially with ">>" appended
debian/compat file of debsums triggers the lintian tag
debhelper-compat-file-contains-multiple-levels:

---8<--
10
# Needs to stay on a compat level which is supported in stable,
# i.e. 10 for stretch (and probably 11 for buster)
--->8---

IMO this lintian warning should only be triggered, if each line only
contains numbers and especially does not begin with hash marks as
commonly used for comments.

Currently debhelper only looks at the first line of the debian/compat
file and hence ignores anything behind (which probably also caused this
tag to be implemented), but the tag should be only emitted if those
lines are obviously created by using ">>" instead of ">", not with
arbitrary content.
