424	make deb broken in Debian 9 due to compat	rainer	rainer	"Reported by Alasdair:


{{{
```
dh_clean: Please specify the compatibility level in debian/compat
debian/rules:39: recipe for target 'clean' failed
make: *** [clean] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1116:

Error ... cannot find package file

make: *** [deb] Error 2
```
}}}

This can be fixed by removing line 14 of debian.rules.in:
{{{
```
export DH_COMPAT=4
```
}}}
and having a file `debian/compat` containing only the character 9
