Affected QGIS version: master
Redmine category:build/install

A clean build on Debian testing fails at the start (problem has been around for a few days):

dpkg-source --before-build qgis_src
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh clean --with python2 --parallel --builddirectory=debian/build
dh: No compatibility level specified in debian/compat
dh: This package will soon FTBFS; time to fix it!
dh: Compatibility levels before 4 are no longer supported (level 1 requested)
debian/rules:214: recipe for target 'clean' failed
make: *** [clean] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2

Refer to "Building debian packages":https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html#toc11 (ie. you need a changelog entry for stretch to get @9@ into @debian/compat@ from @debian/compat.in@)

This does not seem to work as documented any more:

If you rm debian/compat and then dch and dpkg-buildpackage, does it still work for you?

Thank you for the update, however I fear it has introduced another problem:

dpkg-source: error: syntax error in qgis_src/debian/control at line 76: duplicate field Conflicts found
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source --before-build qgis_src gave error exit status 25
