Thanks for raising this issue, Sebastien.
This change presents a problem for the security team's maintenance
activities: in order to fix future issues we would first need to upgrade
the packaging so it can build at all.
I made a survey of my local mirror and found 303 packages in jammy
have debian/compat files with "5" or "6". Not all will require security
support, of course, but it's hard to know what the ratio will be. (If
I've juggled my shell pipelines correctly, around 17 of these have had
around 65 CVEs.)
Can we please sync this change in May?
Thanks
