The supported compat level is (roughly) the major version number of debhelper. (Usually the previous major version supports an experimental version of that compat level, but it hasn't been finalized.) Therefore, for compat level 9, you need debhelper 9 or later, which means stable or squeeze-backports (but not squeeze itself). -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
