No.
Compat should be the major version number of Debhelper the package requires
based on its use of Debhelper features. Compat 7 is only appropriate if
Debhelper 7 features are used.
Compat less than 4 is deprecated, so if you hit a package with 1 - 3, it
should be bumped and the packaging updated. Compat 4 - 6 are just fine.
