Not in the package itself but it could simplify team maintenance / NMUs.

s?ensures more legible debian/rules?ensures less legible debian/rules?
:-P
Just for the record: I'm currently touching all those packages
maintained by Debian Med and not uploaded for >3 years. Some last
remainings of dh5 were removed and some other issues solved. I admit
all of these "long time not uploaded" packages had some issues that
rectify a new upload. IMHO also debian/compat < 9 is another good
reason since automatic build time testing is not done if existing. I
would suspect packages with dh5 style as compat level below 9 - may
be another check should be done for this.
Kind regards
Andreas.
