I think it is due to Debhelper changing it's recommended way of setting the
value. From [0]:
As of debhelper version 4, the DH_COMPAT environment variable is only
to be used for temporarily overriding debian/compat. Any line in
debian/rules that sets it globally should be deleted and a separate
debian/compat file created if needed.
Refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

I'm not sure what's the rationale behind the change though. Maybe a
decision that it's better to have only one way of doing things?
