While investigating a test failure in autopkgtests' autopkgtests, I noted a warning from `debhelper` that the package uses compat 9, which as been deprecated.
Ack. However, we're trying to run our own tests on Ubuntu trusty (in salsaci, not during migration testing) as long as that's supported and as long as we can. So we'd like to not bump the compat level of our test packages until we have to. Alternatively we'd need to enhance our test to either do something different on old testbeds (I don't anticipate we'd do that) or skip the tests on trusty that would fail with a higher compat level.
Unfortunately the current support date for trusty seems to be April 2029.Having said all that, don't feel burned to keep the compat level for us. It's only for testing.
PaulPS I found this out by trying. I didn't really think and saw the test fail with: Removing autopkgtest-satdep:amd64 because I can't find debhelper-compat:amd64
