Which means that debhelper uses its default compatibility level of 1,
which is deprecated.  That's what the warning is trying to tell you in
this case.  One should either set DH_COMPAT or (preferred) create
debian/compat when using debhelper.

I'll adjust the message to make that clear.

So far as I can tell from looking at the lintian source, Build-Depends
cannot create or solve this problem.  That's a different warning.
