And from our experience in PyMaemo backporting various (but not that many) packages from debhelper compatibility level 7 to 5, in most cases you need just to change: * debian/compat: 7 -> 5 * debian/control: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7) -> debhelper (>= 5) * And maybe comment out a few dh_* calls from debian/rules, which might not exist on level 5 Now things might get complex if the packaging already uses some new features of level 7, like those CDBS-like helper rules. In such cases, looking at versions prior to the compatibility level upgrade might help doing the downgrade (and most Debian packages are kept in public SCMs like svn.debian.org).
