Thanks for the bug report!

Which is interesting, because:

1) /usr/share/perl5/Config/Model/Dpkg/Compat.pm is in libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
   (not libconfig-model-perl)
2) libconfig-model-dpkg-perl has a Depends on debhelper
3)

  it's not installed :)
  (probably because different machine)

The libconfig-model-dpkg-perl -> debhelper dependency was added in
2.125, so maybe older versions had the issue (although I think that's
only 2.124 which needed debhelper and missed the dependency), and you
run into such a combination?
